Italy 2006- 7.1

We got an early start today on our trip to Rome, as today is the Florence Marathon and we did not want to get stuck in any crowds of runners or spectators on the way to the train station. Of course, we had no problem, got there early and managed to get on an earlier train, which is all great. We also were treated to the local football hooligans marching through the station on their way to wherever Florence is playing. They were singing, hooting, hollering and generally having a great time. It was fun to watch.

We are now rolling through Tuscany, which is all farm land and vineyards, and mostly fogged in. It is still very scenic however. The plan today is to get to the hotel, and then try to see St Peter’s.
