The increasing demand for slow travel, which railways provide, allows for diversion and digression, moving away from the hurried anxiety of past travel trends.
My own goal is Pompeii. That should be far enough, I reckon, to guarantee a warm sun and witness the new discoveries at the ancient site.
Next morning, when I change trains at Genoa, the sun finally comes out. I regret not planning stopovers in beautiful places along the way.
When did air travel throw up such possibilities? Travel now embraces the joy of missing out, countering the pressure of fear of missing out.
