JK, Sept 20 2010: Something I have meaning to write about, and which we anticipated prior to the trip, is the experience of travelling by train. While a first class Euro-Rail pass by no means guarantees first class travel, we are at present enjoying such, in a quiet cabin shared with two Aussies, Tim and Jess.
The views of Croatian countryside are pastoral and extraordinary. Small white farm houses with red clay tiled rooftops; fields of corn swathed in mist; hills of gold, brown and green ferns mottled, flashing in the sun. Many rivers here are flooded.
The drive with Falvia through Italy's countryside was equally stunning, as was the train through coastal areas.Many urban sections of the tracks are surrounded, however, by areas which are truly run down, or abondoned all together, old stations like graffitied ghost towns.
