Good Morning from the #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte from #Sicily to #Milan. Breakfast ist served in the sleeper cabin at dawn as we pass the Cinque Terre hilltop villages. What a beautiful day at the Riviera di Levante. No opening windows on the train though, yet last night’s rain did some good cleaning work.

Travelling by train between #Sicily and mainland #Italy includes a #ferry crossing, one of the highlights of the trip. The carriages are loaded on the ship. During the sailing, passengers can enjoy some fresh air on the upper decks and try out the famous #Arancini from the ship’s buffet.

Leaving #Sicily for northern #Italy on this #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte, a genuine “cross-country” long distance sleeper service. About 22 hours, if one travels all the way from either #Siracusa or #Palermo through to #Milan.
Settling into the sleeper cabin, which is still in daytime “sofa” configuration.

First train today: #Palermo to #Messina by #Trenitalia #InterCity. It’s a push-pull operation: after the ferry-crossing from #Sicily to the mainland, the train will be coupled to a section originating in #Siracusa. I’m travelling in a former, 2nd generation, Grand Confort car, refurbished to an “IC Sun” interior with seat bays for two or four passengers. And: there are vending machines for drinks and snacks on the train, but no @diningcar .

All survivors safely disembarked in Pozzallo

After several days out sea since leaving Lybia, the 68 people, including 4 children and one baby, from two separate rescues have disembarked in #Pozzallo, #Sicily.

We wish them strength and courage as they begin their journeys in Europe.

Rescues are complete only when the people on the move are able disembark in a place of safety. #Lybia and #Tunisia are not safe for people on the move.
Freedom of movement for all!
