Minor Train Strain from Parma to Bologna to Florence

We watch a couple of freight trains go by, as we await our tardy train, including one with a bunch of vans that must be a special order.

When we board our first train, we can’t reach our car, so we stand at one end with our cheese-laden bags for an hour.

The same happens on our second train, but it’s only a half hour, and we splurge on a taxi ride to our hotel, rather than taking the tram.


The Hilton Garden Inn proves to be a lovely place to stay for two nights.

And yet another bathtub for Kathy to enjoy.
