Fun fact of my train travel experience
“I cross the Ponte della Libertà into Venice without ever checking my watch; the lagoon landscape is my natural compass. I can recognise every islet along the tracks at a glance, from San Secondo to the Island of Campalto, and distinguish almost every bell tower on the horizon. They are my personal landmarks, signalling my arrival in Venice with a precision that no onboard announcement can match.”
