15 April 2025 Salerno: Train Station, Bus Terminal and the Ferry Port

 


We bought bus tickers, rode the bus to the train station and scoped it out.  We determined where we will need to go to catch our train to Bologna next month and found the elevator so we don't have to carry all the luggage up the stairs.  We also found the ticket kiosks that we will need to use to buy tickets for tomorrow.  we plan on a train trip to the start of the Amalfi coast  The tracks for these trains are off to a side of the station that we could have easily missed had we not taken the time to explore the station thoroughly.  Then we walked down to where the ferries dock when I ran out of steam.  So we headed back on the bus to our place where we had dinner.



The buses are well used and there was a crowd to contend with


A large memorial in front of the train station


Ticket machines for local trains


The quiet part of the station


The regional and fast trains depart here


Do not try to cross the tracks!


A nice pedestrian street


A huge building


Ivestitia?


Very large doors


The front side is just as impressive


Down on the waterfront we find huge granite block breakwaters where the ferries dock


An odd profile for a ship 


Mismatched sizes


Sailing with the big ships


Old train tracks through a park like setting


The residential buildings facing the water


Large blocks of housing


The fishing boats are now out


Again the boats are either huge or tiny


Pulling in the nets
