On exam days various opportunities to escape often emerge.
Here is the Orient Express (London-Paris-Innsbruck-Venice). It is a beautiful train that takes your breath away and gives you butterflies in your stomach. I contemplated stowing away, being whisked away far from the looming torture of an exam, into an Agatha Christie novel setting, with mystery, romantic cities, and a glamorous wardrobe waiting in my own private sleeping compartment.
I was obsessed with trains as a child and insisted on always wearing blue and white striped overalls with matching cap and a red bandanna.
Oh, look, it is my personal car....
