Many people travel Europe by train. It can be really easy if you go to major
cities and travel extremely light. You will miss the random side trips-and have
to travel on a schedule.
We have too much luggage. no elevators or ramps in the stations or up to train.
It was so hot out. This train to Rome was on time and quick- 1.5 hours. This
year, I was not dealing with the get a cab to hotel. Last year it was pouring
and cab kicked us out 8 blocks from hotel and pointed in opposite direction(I
had a map). Getting to the train wasn't difficult-if we didn't have 2 large
bags, 2 backpacks and large shopping bag.
We then had a walk(4 blocks) to the hotel. We are at The Westin on Via Venuto.
Beautiful and historical designed. I must have accumulated lots of points
because we were upgraded and escorted to our room-had a bowl of fruit
delivered-very nice.
Lincoln decided to do some laundry-we have a balcony- he rates this hotel #1 for
hand washing-drys instantly.
