“Not yet gone”: the Italian first boarded a Russian train and spent 17 hours on the way – a springboard, a cup holder and the Crimean bridge brought the tourist to shock

After arriving in Mineralnye Vody, he took a train to Simferopol, after spending about 17 hours on the road, writes the Zen channel “you are not there.”.

The traveler was especially surprised by the carriage. Side shelves, open space and the organization of the night move were unusual for him.

The highlight was the passage through the Crimean bridge. Due to the current restrictions, the tourist could not move freely on the car, and the illumination of the structure did not allow a proper view of the bridge and the surrounding views.

On the road, the Italian also drew attention to the sociability of passengers. Travellers easily entered into conversation, talked about the route and treated the foreigner with local sweets. A special impression was made by tea from a cup holder.

After arriving in Simferopol, the tourist admitted that he did not expect such a long and eventful trip. Despite his fatigue, 17 hours on the Russian train became a vivid introduction to local traditions and travel culture.
