22nd June - Florence to Rome

At the train station I met a nice young woman from London called Samantha who was also heading to Rome on her extensive travels. The regional train cost only 16 Euros compared with the 45 Euros being asked for the high-speed train. But of course it took twice as long to get there (about 3½ hours).
My hotel (Novecento) was a couple of Metro stops away so it took about 15 mins to get there all up. The room is lovely & it's quiet (hard to get in Rome). Only 1o mins from the Colosseum, I hope it will be a pleasant place to stay.
