Hello Italy!

It was an early morning as we walked down to the cable car at 6:15. Then a short bus ride and a lot of trains, but we made it. All-in-all, it was a good day of travel. Things were on time and we didn't have any big layovers or have to sprint to any trains.

The worst part of the trip was the train to Milan. We had reserved seats and the train was really crowded. We got to our seats and there were people in them. They told us they were not our seats, we needed to move on. Coach Evans stepped up and got things rolling. The family of 3 left as soon as we pulled tickets out and called their bluff, but there was another woman that was not having any part of us sitting there or her moving. Eventually, she saw the light and moved on. I think the armed transit police officer coming down the aisle helped. Then JJ decided to stick her calf into the electrical socket while getting into her seat. In the US this would sting a little, but here, they run 240 and that seriously hurts! Poor JJ, at least she can laugh about it now.
