    WOW! Josh, that looked a bit of a tough ride there! Although, used to seeing you on aircraft, the terrestrial way has it's benefits which air travel misses out on, the passing scenery. Traveling terrestrially gives a better sence of actually 'being' in and a part of whatever country you are passing through. If you're flying you only get a beautiful view of the Italian clouds! Lovely video, as alwase. Keep going mate!

      Actually stazione centrale in Milan is one of the only station of that period that can be seen nowadays. In fact, it was built in 1931 under the dictator Mussolini and during that age, infrastructure were built using roman and greek features. This kind of architecture is called neoclassical-fascist.

    Great Job Josh! Love the beauty of the countries you went through by train. I was lucky enough to work out of Palermo back in the 80s. Loved the city and the people were great. I loved to be able with the shop owners to haggle about the price of a item in their stores since most of them were family businesses they told me the prices were not set in stone. I also remember a prison being there and they had a armored personnel vehicle that circled the prison 24/7. Thanks again Josh and be safe in your travels!

    Yes, Josh! More trains! I love them. I was in Milan in May of 2019. Gorgeous city and the train station is stunning. Such a beautiful country. I would love to take this journey -- although no a/c, no running water and broken toilets . . . hmmm. I certainly hope you had a functioning toilet somewhere in your car!
    Thanks for the video -- I hope we'll see more of your stay in Palermo!

    • @MrItaliansound
      @MrItaliansound 4 года назад +1

      toilets were not broken, the train staff close them while aprocing boarding on the Ferry. Come on, on a train that travels more than 20 hours, they can't all be broken, if it really happened now I could read it in the newspapers. Same thing for the air conditioning, if it works in one cabin, it must also work in the other, there are air intensity regulators in each cabin, it was enough to adjust it higher.

    I think trains are super underrated. While today everything is about flying I think trains should definitely supported, they offer more comfort at a lower price and are much, much better for the environment. And the best of all is that you can enjoy the scenery!

    • @marcosalamanca8742
      @marcosalamanca8742 2 года назад

      No man. They are much more expensive, that is the main issue. A price drop in train tickets would lead to many more people opting for this better and more mindful way of travelling.. But as it's almost always the case, being environmentally mindful comes with a cost.

    I'm old enough to have experienced the D390/391 "Alfred Nobel" (Hamburg - Stockholm / - Oslo, split up in Helsingborg). Service ended after summer 1994. Was great thing. Later, there were IC3 from DSB running the service Hamburg - Copenhagen and a night train Copenhagen - Stockholm / - Oslo (split up in Helsingborg). Still great. Great railway times!

Alas, all I have as a reminder is a credit and a booking ref from EK. Still, it's great to be alive and the antipodean summer is approaching. Hopefully by mid next year COVID is history. Stay safe, stay strong.

    Your joke about Italians and the war, reminded me of a train trip from Venezia to Milano.
    We day tripped to Venezia and on the return there was thunder storm with lighting.
    He heard a boom and the train crawled to a stop 😳
    There was a young German couple travelling in our cabin and we decided to make a quick ‘picnic’? We had bought some bread, cheese and cured meats and the couple had wine and sweets! We all had a great time.
    I saw a RR worker and decided to ask how much longer we would be stopped and said ‘venti minuti signori’.
    I told my new German friend, he said twenty minutes (mind you we had been stopped an hour) and he responded dead pan: an Italian twenty minutes?
    I just busted out laughing.
    Anyway, your train report jogged my memory!

    Night train from Tbilisi (Georgia) and Yerevab (Armenia)! Downside: they wake you up aggressively in the middle of the night when crossing the border...

    Is Trenitalia trolling, or just adding thoughtful design features with that mirror in Josh's compartment? Mezzaluna or mezzogiorno?
