Pros: There was food in the cafeteria, so I could have a snack anytime I wanted! Cons: No mask. Tips: all my neighbors were polite, so I don't think it should be the case.

Being retired, I was not in a hurry to get home. So instead of flying home, I decided to experience a train trip. The train left on time, the seats had room and comfortable. The views were very nice.
