Nearly there! We are already!
I left London on Saturday morning...gray skies, rain on the way...a few hours later I landed at Marco Polo airport in Venice, took the bus to the city and soon I was on a lovely clean, fast Italian train whizzing down across the Appenine mountains to Florence. Gorgeous lovely Florence! Even the train station is named after one of the most spectacular works of architecture in the world, Santa Maria Novella!
