Yes, preferably when one is sober.
I think the entire town is so charming, and there's a little old lady who sits right by her front door in one of the houses looking out on to the tracks with the sea at a distance:)

Oh, for sure, you don't wanna risk falling left or right. 😂

Isn't she living the dream? I'd say she is, and she knows it. That's surely one of my goals, to have a little house by the beach. Every evening I'd try and take a seat and then just stare for as long as I can, over endless blue sea.

I get the feeling that she has lived there forever. It's a lovely place to be, and the trains are fast and quiet, so it's not much of a distraction. I love trains and love to go train spotting, so I would not be bothered to see a train go by while looking out at the sea:)

It's been a while since I've last travelled on a train. I'm guessing 2005 in India, my father and I were travelling from Kolkata to Delhi. It was my last train ride and it was also the best one. It probably took around 10/12 hours for us to reach our destination, a lengthy ride, but it was comfy though.

That was indeed a long train journey. The longest train ride I'm ever done was from Marrakesh to Fes to Casablanca. I had 2 people next to me that chatted loudly for the entire journey. My travel partner and I did the same, to see if they would have got the hint, but they did not seem phased. I blocked my ears and tried to tune them out because I've never wanted to punch someone so badly.

I feel you, we see these folks mostly in restaurants. They just don't know how to keep their volume down, and they forget that there are countless other people surrounding them.

Always carry headphones or earphones when travelling, that's the only solution I know that works. Then you won't have to punch anyone in real life, but do carry on punching them in your mind and imagination, as you listen to some music. 😂

I really hate that mentality. We were obviously in a quiet zone on the train. Either way, have some consideration for Christ's sake.
Yeah, I'll keep punching away in my mind, till I'm exhausted 😂

A little sparring session haha. 🥊😂🥊
