Train to Milan

Aug 11-12, 2009

Best train ride ever!! We were in a sleeper car, and had the best train attendant. Helped us get our bags on, showed us where the room was. THEN, we realized we had a little sink in our coupe!! And the bed was made for us, with a bottle of cold bottled water sitting there for us. And they gave us a hygiene kit, consisting of a toilet seat cover, soap, and paper towels. And there was a nice towel sitting there, too. Mom's bed even had a mirror hanging over it. I jokingly said, "And we're going to get a continental breakfast." Well, in the morning, they really did bring us breakfast in bed. Not continental, but still. We got pear juice and a sweet roll. Wow, talk about service. I could probably live on this train!

Mom was grateful to have a more positive train experience leaving Rome than she had coming to Rome. Needless to say, mom doesn't like gypsies anymore.
