What's going on everybody? Today we are going to Roma, Rome from Milano Centrale or as they say
Centrale, Central Station of Milan to Rome. I'm gonna do the high-speed train I hope
should take three to four hours. I'm going to see if I can get the
first class. If not, I'll just do the regular. Sometimes regular class though
No seating available. If it was anything like yesterday. Just no bueno
but when in Italy you say good morning, buongiorno so it is
about 8.30, 9 o'clock in the morning buongiorno my friends
need tickets Oh, look
They do have escalators. Yesterday I came in from Zurich. I'd rather talk to someone, but I'll try the
regular ticket booth first. English
Literally one step at a time. Okay..
Where's the place to store your luggage? It says Deposito... Maybe it's down
Aha, here's the deposit of the lounge. Or the bag. Follow the sign
Found it
My favorite place in the train station, the bag deposit. See how much this costs
All right, so that was six euro per bag. Dropped off both bags
They just require an ID. And you pay when you pick up. So it for the first four hours or six euros for the first four hours after that you got to pay for each additional hour so you basically get four hours for a really good price before the
price starts going up all right I got my bags was out riding my bike took a bike for a spin now
we're headed up here I went over to the Duomo making videos for Island Hopper TV
yeah I went over to the Duomo and then I went to
the new town so they have that apartment that looks like a tree
Rode my bike everywhere took about I would say An hour and a half worth of riding was pretty good. Yes, this train is going to
Salerno all the way stops in Florence and Rome So I'm going to be taking the lift up to the lounge here you can see the Talio club
Is this the club? Oh, there's the club I can also walk here
Here's the view. And we got some seating here. Sorry guys I didn't want to film in there because I didn't want to stick the camera in people's faces
but it's just a very limited lounge, a little bit of food, some drinks and that's about it
Nice place to chill and relax. Roma. Okay, where are we going
We gotta find Salerno Roma I know you guys want me to go to Ponte Vecchio
I think it's number 9 Let's see, number 9
In case you don't know the reference to Ponte Vecchio, that's in Florence
Friends. I gotta work on my Italian. I think goodnight is Buon Norte. Buon Norte or something like that
Alright, Salerno, see? We got Torino here. everything is so important to you and not randomly sled and themed listen to one of these great cars and the great cars Happy lunch everyone What up Thank you Okay what is this
Seat number 14. Okay. This is the first class. I would rather have taken a seat like that
Well, just an update. I've actually decided to get off here in Florence
It's 1.30 in the afternoon. I figured I'll just cruise around Florence for a bit
But, yeah, I'm just adding this little segment in there. Obviously, I can go straight into Rome
I've already paid for that ticket. Would have taken four and a half hours total
But being that it's 1.30 in the afternoon, I don't want to sit on that train too much longer
So I felt like stopping here. Maybe I'll just put my suitcase in storage
Walk around Florence for about three or four hours. And then head out
There's the beautiful train. Smooth ride. But I honestly thought to myself, why not just explore Florence, you know
Why not? So, let's see if they've got bag storage around here
Where is the back storage
Well, just so you know, the baggage place is inside the train station
Alright, so I've got a ticket. I'm going at the 1610. So I was basically here for three hours
It was incredibly hot. Incredibly hot. I had no idea how hot it was going to be
But anyway, I got my suitcase and luggage, and I'm now just waiting for the train
It's five minutes late. So, the staff for Train Italia is very friendly people everywhere
They're some of the friendliest people. Very down to earth. actually Florence I got a taxi the guy was incredibly hospitable incredibly
so Italian very friendly especially like the Italians you know Italian Italian
at least that's been my experience for sure well here comes our train
Okay, coach number two
This ticket here is considered business class, which is different than the other ticket that I had
So, look at this. There's like a rain now. That's crazy. It was so hot, now it's raining
Looks like that heat created like a storm. Alright. Frecarosa over there
We're headed out. Leaving Firenze. Was here for three hours. So hot. I think it was like 34
What is this impression A lot of work coming in A little bit delayed
We had to wait on the tracks for about 15 minutes. And we're here in Rome
We showed up a little bit early at the tracks. So we had to wait for some trains to leave
We ended up waiting on the track for about 15 minutes, just kind of parked outside
Not too bad. Stuff like that happens. 18. Attenzione, il binario 18 è ubicato oltre il termine del marciapiede del binario 17
I feel like I might be done with trains for a while
Might end up going back to airports. Basically, I've made it from Scotland down to Rome
Trains are cool and all, but from here, there isn't really much options
further south I think it stops in Naples or Salerno and then from there it's
buses I guess Oh let me go the other way you want to go this way should have made it right
So anyways, I'm going to see if I can get a hotel near the station
If not, then I'm going to go towards, like, I don't know, maybe St. Peter's or..
Maybe by Trevi Fountain. I'm not sure. Let's see. I still haven't booked the hotel
I need to do that. I'm just glad to be in Rome
This is the situation right outside the Rome
