Day 29: Venice to Rome
Today was a fairly quiet day. Up late, a trip to the top of
the bell tower in St Mark’s Square – great view, and I found out while up there
that this was the tower Galileo drop his weights from to show that acceleration
due to gravity is equal on large and small masses. We then headed to the
station ready for our train to Rome. On route we gave some pronunciation
lessons to some yanks and generally relaxed. The scenery between Florence and
rome is pretty good. Lots of little villages, rolling hills and vineyards.
Once in Rome we were collected at the station and taken to
our hotel, which is just around the corner from the Spanish Steps. A quick walk
to investigate the area, then back to the room to catch up on some email and
blogs.
