A midnight train breakdown


No no... our midnight train did not break down. We broke down after taking a midnight train. We left florence at 2 am on our way to Venice. We figured we might as well see venice for the morning on our way up to Switzerland because our train pass is valid for 24 hours once we get going. The train was unexpectedl^y packed and we couldn't lay down to sleep. I ended up sitting in the hallway, and no one else could sleep. We got to venice at 5:45 and made it downtown by 6:30. Venice was silent. NOt a boat in the water (and no cars because there are no roads). We got to a little piazza and I layed down my bags and fell down. I ended up sleeping in that piazza for 6 hours. So much for getting to Swityerland.
