E464 231 + 358 / IT-Brindisi

On Saturday morning, the three night trains to Lecce were on the itinerary. After a restful night at the hotel – which had its own whirlpool in the room – we took a bus a few kilometres out of town, whilst fearing the bus might fall apart. Once we arrived at the stop, we checked the real-time data on the Trenitalia app again and realised that one of the trains had been stuck in Monopoli since 8 o’clock that morning. After a quick search, it became clear to us that there had been an accident involving a passenger, meaning we could forget about the two direct night trains. At least there was still the ICN 765, which goes via Taranto, so we hadn’t risked our lives on the bus entirely in vain. After that, we drove back to Brindisi and stocked up on soft drinks a second time, but this time for the journey to Salerno, where we had another ‘Tschinggefrisbee’ for dinner.
