Returning from a holiday on the island of Crete, i disembarked off the ferry in Ancona
Italy and took the train to Cattolica, taking about an hour. I had picked Cattolica has a place to stay because nearly 70 years ago i stayed there a week with my mother on holiday. So i made the effort to visit again for one night on my return journey.
The resort was just as nice, only smarter and more lively. Still the lovely sandy beaches. -- Cattolica is on the Adriatic Sea coast.---I continued my journey homeward by taking the train to Turin Italy, taking about 4 and half hours;----------

------------------Arriving off the train in Turin around midday, i found a hotel and used the
rest of the day exploring Turin. I did not see everything , but i liked what i did see. In the cathedral is a replica of the famous Turin Shroud Holy relic. The "real" shroud is locked away, only on show on special occasions. -- Turin has lovely buildings and streets. I took the glass sided lift [elevator], in the middle of the Mole Antonelliana for the great view at the top.-- Next day i boarded the train for Chambery France. Journey time 2 and half hours.--------
