Day 1. The departure day

Departed from Sta Apolonia with destination Hendaye (France). The train was the sud express also called by the brazilians the "show of the horrores" :). I'm not telling you why :P

The day was sunny and relatively warm (15-20C°). I was the only person on my compartment at departure.

I was ready to leave at the time the train was announced to depart.

Everything was on the right place and I should have a nice and smooth travel until the train change in Hendaye... at least it was what I though at the time :)








Some of initial nervousness flew away with the feeling of the wind on my face and with a sensation of freedom in my mind and heart.
