The Train Station |
the coffee stop |
We included a coffee stop halfway. We hit the grand Canal, turned right, went over a bridge, turned left and entered the station.
We were shocked, the train we are taking to Munich tomorrow, EC82, was cancelled for today. Asking around we were told to go to the other Venice train station - the one on the mainland - Venice Mestri, to ask our questions. Tried to use the automatic ticket machines, missed a step and failed in each of five attempts. So we bought our tickets the old-fashioned way - from a ticket booth. But these tickets had to be validated before boarding. This realisation came about after we boarded the train. Ben jumped off to validate, he turned around to see the train leaving the station - he had missed the train. So the others went ahead and Ben followed on the next train - no fuss just the perils of travel!
Anyway getting to Venice Mestri and asking about what to do if the train was cancelled, a classic Venetion shrug of the shoulders and "Train is cancelled, I don't know" So now we have to develop a plan B and hope that the train is not cancelled tomorrow. Now just to be sure I phoned DeutchesBahn the operator and asked about the cancellation, and was told the train ran today. So what is going on, I guess we will find out tomorrow.
