And then we do everything in reverse to get the train off the boat again

To Sicily!

And we set sail...

So the whole train can be put onto a boat!!

The train is shunted around and split into sections

We're right at the tip of the "boot" of Italy now and coming up to the main event

You'd have to pay extra for this view in any other hotel though

Buona mattina from southern Italy.
So how was my first sleeper train?
Well, imagine a small, basic hotel room a little less comfortable than your bed at home.
Now imagine your hotel room is nearly an hour late and has to make up the time.

I'll reserve judgement until I've been on a few more of them

Here's something for the signal cabin fans while I panic on my train

There are more videos but Bluesky only lets me post them one at a time and I cba
Anyway this is Lake Lugano and the town over on the other side is an Italian enclave

Gonna put my neck on the line here and say Switzerland is actually very pretty

Goodbye Zurich!
Bang on time!
