10:46:06 I bought a new suitcase for this trip. Here it is, containing some neatly folded shirts, of which I was rather proud.	12:18:32 Lunch, with my suitcase, at the Betjeman Arms in St. Pancras. What a wonderful place to start a journey St. Pancras is.	12:18:59	14:12:05 Half a bottle of Nyetimber for the Eurostar.

17:44:58 At Gare de Lyon in Paris now, the exterior of Le Train Bleu on the upper level there.	17:51:50 Inside Le Train Bleu, with my suitcase.	17:52:10 Lighting is a bit challenging here, but was trying to get a decent shot of the wonderful interior.	17:55:10 As I was Italy bound, it seemed appropriate to order a Spritz.

18:54:12 Me and Benoit at Le Train Bleu.	18:54:18	18:54:20	19:44:28 Boarding the sleeper train to Venice.

19:51:19 My sleeper compartment on the train.	20:40:06 Dinner on the sleeper train. Hardly the golden age of travel in terms of the crockery, cutlery, and stemware, but I managed t struggle through.	22:01:59 My suitcase up on the luggage rack in my sleeper compartment.
