Favorite train trip
While I was a student in Menton, near Nice, I remember coming back from a trip in Israel and having to take a train from Milan to Ventimiglia. Our plane was late, so we missed our bus and had to sleep in the train station. When we finally got on the train, I fell asleep. I woke up when we were passing through the Alps. That convinced me to stay awake for the rest of the trip. I've also been curious about the train trip from Nice to Moscow for a long time!
