On the way to to Ravenna drinking our last bottle of white wine we put memo game out of the backpack and laid down the cards to the seat of the train. Even involved a Chinese guy( emo stylish, for the first sight was not obvious his gender.. seemed shy, but kind). Seemed he was happy to play with us. The old Italian couple next to our seat was observing our game with open curiosity how we collecting the pairs, and explaining the rules.
Smiley faces again, good vibe on the train! :)
We supposed to change the train after 2 hrs in Faenza ( the duration of the whole trip was about 2,5 hrs, about 180km long), but it turned out at the station that we should had to stay on the same train.
Great! Even better! But anyway we were late... think thanks to the .-in Tuscany- unusual snowy situation.
On the train the conductor guy was really funny.. at every station he walked between the wagons and when he saw us ( as almost the only passangers ) he started to speak loud about that we have to catch up and everything is under control, and to the driver he shouted every time : " Andiamo maestro! Andiamo! " - to motivate him drive faster. Was a funny guy, totally speeded up! ;)
Arriving to Ravenna:
On the way received a text message from Mauro, our CS host, that he is already at the station waiting for us, as at this time ( after 8pm) there are no buses to them flat.
He welcomed us with a wide smile on his face, short, bald guy, with glasses.
At his place Raffaella, his wife already was waiting for us with a gorgeous dinner. Warm welcome, and pleasant , interesting conversation during having the meal. The dishes were delicious, and prepared on a healthy, organic style, as they were living too.
