We had a sleeper train to Rome to meet our Tuscany tour. It was an experience! Apart from the train being 2 hours late because of a breakdown, our plans of early check in for the tour went south. The trip was very loud and bumpy and jeff was worried about being rolled off the top bunk so tied himself in with his track suit pants. Hilarious!!!
We caught a taxi after a crazy walk around the packed and huge Rome train station and then a fun taxi ride but we arrived safely at our hotel and met the guide. After a shower we felt human again. That evening we had a welcome dinner and then a night tour of Rome. It was very pretty at night!!
