Through the Alpes

So got my ticket and everything set for Friday. Only I am really disappointed that the Cisalpino train has no restaurant wagon. It was great when they still had, sitting next to the window, nibbling on an excellent cheese plate and drinking not so excellent wine but still, and see the Alpes flow past. Ah well, guess I have to pack my own food and drink now. On the positive side that'll be way cheaper (the prices they charge on the train! You would think you ordered a Brunello di Montalcino and some very very rare cheese from an almost extinct race of sheep or similar!). Can't wait!

'through the Alps'
Yay train picnics are great! especially when you delight your fellow passengers with the smell of hard-boiled eggs.
I'm surprised they got rid of the restaurant car on the Cisalpino, thought it was popular - but you're right way way way overpriced
