Up at 6am, dressed and medications taken. The taxi arrives at 6:30am to take us to the Roma Termini (Rome Station). Everybody in Rome must be going somewhere this morning as I haven\u2019t seen so many people at a railway station since the last Adelaide Crows game at home. Now to figure out how to purchase a ticket. And there\u2019s plenty of dubious characters only too willing to help you. I really do need to search Google for how to say Piss Off in Italian.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--ast-global-color-4); color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">Saw a lot of people lined up by what I think is the ticket office. And look you have take a number from a machine and there are three options and their all in Italian. I press what I think is the Intercity train tickets. Lets wait and see. 15 minutes later more desk staff turn up and the line is shrinking quickly and finally our number is called out. I\u2019ve obviously made the right selection. \u20ac43 each to Florence. The tickets only in Italian and have to ask which platform, which carriage, which seats. 10 mins to find our train before it leaves. Off we go to Florence at 250km\/h most of the way, with only a couple of stops it\u2019ll take about 3 hours.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf2e31c elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"bf2e31c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;masonry&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:15,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:1,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/holiday.chrisapps.com\/europe2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/train-to-Florence.webp\" data-width=\"1080\" data-height=\"608\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDea and Chris on the train to Florence\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6af3ead4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6af3ead4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Florence. Dea needs a wee and I need some coffee and breakfast. Can\u2019t find the toilet in the station but there\u2019s a Maccas across the road. It must be the only toilet in Florence as the lineup is the full length of the store and Dee tells me it\u2019s Unisex and one cubicle.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve never had breakfast at a Maccas before and probably wont again. The coffee is good but the sausage and egg McMuffin leaves a lot to be desired. MacDonalds, sausages are meaty tubes not a pattie better suited to a burger.<\/p><p>Sometime, later when the bacon and egg muffin has turned cold, Dea returns from the toilet. We decide we will take the City Sightseeing bus tour as it\u2019s parked across from the station, which means we know how to get back.<\/p><p>Florence is a wonderful and very beautiful city. The weather was fantastic, the sun was out just a little breeze to stop the sun from getting to harsh. Lot of tight streets and alleys with a lot of art and culture. Wish we had planned to stay a couple of days. The best place to see the city view is the Piazzale Michelangelo. It\u2019s lookout with a bronze copy of Michelangelo\u2019s David. The views are spectacular.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0603aae elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\"
