Rimini to Milan
And again, gratitude to miself for choosing a 1:st class Eurrail pass. Face mask on.
Since I’m a fairly frequent traveller in-between my two homes in Stockholm and Malmö, and happen to both prefer the train, as well as having mostly good experiences with our state run domestic train company I feel they DO have room for improvement in their 1:st class cars…
I was talking to an Italian lady on the platform. She was a gym ed teacher in elementary school, going to Switzerland on an interview. Due to the mandatory demand on her to vaccinate against Covid as a teacher, she had sold her house and was going to emigrate. I myself is vaccinated, but if I was forced to… I myself would leave. My body… is for me to decide about.
And the compulsory face masks on many trains outside of Sweden was my main concern when I decided to do this Eurrail travelling. I hate face masks, and think they are so say the least, gross. However, not only is it respectful to take the custom where it comes, I laso see the practicality in following the law where I’m at. Face mask on.
Milan to Zurich
Due to being a bit cheap I rushed through Switzerland on my way to Italy, I felt like enjoying it on my way back. Specifically, enjoying the order of EVERYTHING. When travelling, I really appreciate the not so orderly setting of things, as a break from Swedish society. Italy offered plenty 😊. Contrasts makes life so much more interesting.
And as soon as we pass the Swiss border, we’re quite a few that remove our face masks 😊
