Silver Arrow to Venice

This morning we were feeling a bit "museumed out" so we spent our last morning in Florence wandering around just enjoying the sights and chasing a few geocaches. Around lunchtime we collected our cases from our hotel and headed off to Florence's main station to catch a Frecciargento...Silver Arrow...to Venice.

The Frecciargento is the Italian version of a very fast train. Where available it runs at high speed on dedicated tracks like we did between Florence and Bolonga...and spent about 95% of the time in tunnels. The rest of the time it runs as a fast "tilt train" on ordinary lines as we did the rest of the way to Venice.

On arrival in Venice, we caught a Water Bus down the Grand Canal to St Marks Square where we are staying.
