Of wireless and hotels

Call me pedantic, but finding wireless at hotels in Italy is proving to be a bit of a challenge.
(Rant follows...)

What a week..

Ok - so we've been a bit barren on posts over the past 9 or 10 days. But we have good reason, you have to trust us.

Of Trains and Journeys....

I've always wanted to do one of those magical long train journeys, like the Indian Pacific, or the Trans-Siberian. The massive, long trips that go for days on end where you cross miles of countryside, or even countries at a time.
As a slight nod to this, we chose to do an overnight train from Rome to Venice. We're buying a Eurail Pass for our next trip, so I'm sure there will be more of these things.

Shore Excursions!

In less than 15 days, we'll be in Rome, the kick off to our honeymoon. To kick things off in style, we looked at the Shore Excursions and booked some today.

Booking Trains...

Those aware of our plans (in so far as we have them) will be aware that in late May, we're flying BA to Rome, staying a night in Rome, then getting an overnight train from Rome to Venice, to board our cruise. (Choose the 7 day, Greek Isles cruise). Then we're staying a couple of nights in Venice, hiring a car, and driving around Northern Italy for 8 days, before flying back again in early June. This trip is both our honeymoon, and our 3 year anniversary, so we're pretty excited.
