Day 15 - Sleeper Train My Arse!!

Lots of travelling today, but first we finally agreed on a new route. Instead of Venice, Padora, Verona, Milan, Pisa, Florence and Rome. It is now Venice, Turin, Nice (plus maybe a day trip to Cannes), Gonavo, Pisa, Florence and Rome. Excited and a bit worried about the new plans, we boarded the train to Vienna to await our first (and hopefully last) night train to Venice. In a rush to get the train we rely on the old trusty Macdonlds takeaway and make the train by minutes. Sitting in the pitch black carriage we wait to see that we are on the right train, and once both border control and the ticket man come round we know it is safe to relax. Or as much as you can do on a train that sits at stations for hours with the bright lights blurring through the window at the early hours of the morning and a woman (not Mel) who sings while listening to her Ipod and snoores to the point that the noise becomes part of my dream! No sleep for me then!
