So we are leaving Florence today, so I thought I would whip up a quick description of the last few days.
So before we left Vienne, we experienced SCHNITZELMAX, and each ate enormous schnitzels bigger than a standard dinner plate. We had a coffee in one of the famous Viennese coffe houses, and then caught our train to Florence.
The couchettes suck a bit - it wasn’t the worst night I’d ever had (any night on a plane is worse), but it was a long way from the hopeful idea - replacing hotel rooms with couchettes around Europe. If you did that, you’d be a very tired traveller.
So since arriving in Florence, we’ve done day-trips to Rome and Pisa. Rome was polluted and not that great, Pisa was excellent. Today we’re walking walking walking around Flornece before our proper ’sleeper’ train to Amsterdam. Meeting Rob B Monday night, the cunning little weasel.
