2007 - Post-Graduation Mediterranean - Day 47

Day 47:

[Train to Istanbul]
- Jog to post office to send postcard.
- Highspeed 5 from Hellenic.
- Met group from Philly. 4 hrs. Was looking forward to ride due to the ferry story, but seas were calm so only some rocking motion.
- Took train to Larissa. Get to ticket booth before long line up. 1.5 hrs before train.
- 6hrs train.
- Tracks built on hills (to avoid farmland?). Through mountains.
- Descent from mountain on side of it. See landscape below. Pass tunnels.
- See rock outcroppings on the down side of train.
- Twisty rock.
- Smooth but slow train. Very few seem to be electrified in Greece.
- Arrive midnight. Birthday on walk to hotel. Close to station and get room.
- Elevator with no inside door.
- Get food then slept.
