Parting lovers at the stations, reuniting families or seperating them all done there. The misty, blury background and the aksi racing the train to catch the last glimpse of your loved ones.<BR/><BR/>My favourite train ride(which you must take one of these days) is with the Bernina Express. We crossed the alps from St Moritz in winter and descended to the mediterranean Tirano all in one day. Lovely journey, needless to say a romantic one too. Aaah, maybe romance was just in my head, such a romantic fool I am.<BR/><BR/>Nice post as always.wizcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751156219984442534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-69692342357740252882008-04-20T12:10:00.000+01:002008-04-20T12:10:00.000+01:00There is something quite romantic about a train jo...There is something quite romantic about a train journey. There are the sights shooting past, the various fellow passengers, you alone with your thoughts and all kinds of possibilities which a car or air journey just cannot conjure up.
