From Nice to Rovigo

The train journey along the French Riviera never fails to delight me with picturesque glimpses of coves, beaches and villages.

This is Villefranche sur Mer.

I had 3 train changes on this trip: amazingly all ran to schedule !

Milan's station, with Alberto Favi's impressive arched iron canopy (1930) covering over 66 thousand square metres, has little changed since I was using it as a child: only then steam trains took me away.

Finaly a warm, present-full, welcome including, "Gods, Graves & Scholars": C.W.Ceram's Story of Archaeology.
