Train Crash in Milano - Racing to Venice

ITALY | Tuesday, 29 September 2009 | Views [381]

Venicia


Early start to get the train to Milano and then onto Venizia. All went well until about 30 minutes from Milano when the train stopped. Evidently there was a train crash near Milano Central last night. Milano to Venizia has been delayed as well, and we're now back on schedule, althoughone hour delayed. We have a 2 hour window of opportunity to get onto the boat before it sails from Venizia so we're hoping that there will be no further delays.


OOPS-more delays. The latest time for embarkation was 4:00pm – we arrived in a speeding taxi, shouting “Avanti! Avanti!” at 3:50pm – a little frazzled but we made it on board. Nothing a stiff drink on arrival didn't take care of


The MSC Armonia will be our home for next week. We're looking forward to unpacking our bags and taking a bit of time to chill out after our frantic past weeks. We were escorted to our suite and to our delight it was much larger than expected with a terrific balcony and full bath. Happy little vegimites are we.
