The Train to Venezia

The train is fantastic. We have our own compartment which is basically a room with a sliding door and curtains which can be pulled across for privacy. We have six seats all to ourselves (our bags sit in two seats and we're taking advantage of the remaining four since discovering that they recline to make a bed). I'm about to start looking at my book that I bought at the market this morning. I say "look" at it because it's written in Italian but the pictures are great. The book is titled "L'Italia in 300 Immagini" by The Touring Club Italiano. It's basically a guide book for Italy that was published in 1956. A little dated but the pictures remain accurate as most of the buildings are so old in Italy with very little new development.
