Stopover in Padova before continuing on to Verona.

Depart from Venice by Italo train from Venezia Santa Lucia station to Padova station, it takes a little over an hour. The train is very comfortable, with both lower, upper and mezzanine floors. There are few people and it runs on time. There are information on the screens showing which stations to stop at, which trains to take, and what time the trains leave. Is it a waste of time? Good... Tonight I am staying at the Ibis Padova hotel, which is a little outside the city, but there are buses running right in front of the hotel. It took me a while to figure out where to go and get the bus to the hotel. It was fun... I paid the bus driver, but the tickets were sold out, so I got a free 2 euros ride. I had my own breakfast since morning, then took the bus to Padova station. The next stop was Verona.
