Venice to Florence by train

[day5:to Tuscany] Full video on youtube... www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTMxsMVQK3U.

 

We rode TrenItalia's really faaaast #9641 bullet train (180MPH FAST) from Venezia to Firenze. It took less than 3 hours (10:43AM-1:22PM) for the commute .

 

The train passed a lot of towns (communes) like Padova, Stanghella, and Pianoro...

sights like Monselice castle, and the Eugenian Hills,

countless bridges over rivers like the Bachiglione,

and miles and miles of farms and fields in the Veneto plains.

 

This is the Eurostar Alta Velocita's highspeed line, not only in speed but the lack of stops; from Venice's Sta Lucia station, it stopped only twice: at Bologna and finally at Firenze S.M. Novella train station.
