After visiting the supermarket and doing some shopping to replace some clothes that hadn't survived the laundry in Paris, it was off to Venice!
It was a long train trip, but we got to see some of the coastline, from Marseille (not so nice) up to Cannes and Nice (a bit prettier). At Nice we switched trains to a sleeper. We had wanted to travel during the day, but all the trains had been booked out.
In our cabin there were three beds and we were sharing with an Australian from Brisbane called Ben. He has been working for a year in Scotland and on his last holiday before returning home.
It was a little difficult to sleep - the train kept on stopping and starting - but it was ok. The train worked its way up through Monaco, up to Milan and across to Venice. In the morning the guard woke us with a cappuccino and a packet croissant. We were in almost there!
We passed through the ugly industrial city of Mestre and watched as we sped along the long bridge into Venice.
