It was a long LONG trip by train. It took us 8 hr and 45 minutes, 1 train change in Zurich and God only knows how many stops till we got to our destination. At first I did not feel like doing anything, I wanted to sleep, but the coffee I drank for breakfast did not help at first so i turned to the ipod. after the train change in Zurich, the train was much comfier so I did finally manage to sleep. I slept on and off for almost 3 hours. 3 hours in any other trip would’ve been really impressive, but not in this never ending trip. We ate lunch in the in-train restaurant, it wasn’t the best meal ever, but it managed to waste some time without us noticing, which is good.

We finally arrived, checked in, left our bags and headed out again. It was raining by that time. We went to the old town, which is breath taking to say the least. The place is very beautiful. I’ve been here once 20 years ago 😛 and I was shocked that I remembered a restaurant in the old town (I was 6 years old then) and when I tried to remind Mom, she remembered!

^The Second train.

^Yeah it wasn’t a nice meal but the waiter was really funny! The way he was carrying the food and drinks while the train is giving him a hard time was priceless! at one point he was yelling to all the people sitting “I’m flying I’m flying!” while maneuvering his way back to the kitchen. min3ogobha samaina “ilkhebel”.

I’ve taken many more pictures and will post them in the coming days 🙂
