In an attempt to grab some cheap flights to Croatia, we booked our flights out of Rome. The train ride from Florence to Rome was so cheap and easy that it just made sense.
This was my mom’s first European intercity train ride!
Since we had about an hour in Rome between when our train arrived to Roma Termini station and when we needed to grab a train back out of Roma Termini, it gave us just enough time to rush over to the Trevi Fountain.
Michael graciously stayed with the bags while we grabbed an Uber.
Need to get those coins in so she’ll be sure to come back again… or marry a man from Rome… there is no way of knowing what the tradition is. But something good, I’m sure!
Back to the train station and off to Croatia for real this time!
So much fun trying to get to the Fountain and back in time to board our train to the airport. The fact that it was raining a little seemed to slow traffic done – or maybe it was just our urgency that seemed to put everything around us in slow motion. You can’t be in Rome without throwing your coins in the Trevi Fountain. Thanks, Michael, for staying with the luggage – we definitely would not have made it if we all had gone together to the Fountain. 🙂
