Travelling at 300 kph just above the ground

Today's post title sounds like a plug for a Hot Lap with Andrew Fisher in the V8 Ute, but as you can see from the picture, we were doing that speed on a Very Fast Train from Paris to Rome. We decided some months ago to do a few legs by train so after a 5am start to get to Gare de Lyon in Paris, we spent around 8 hours travelling from Paris to Milan and then a change of train to Rome.


It was a great way to travel - lots of room and great views of the French and then Italian countryside out the windows. Apart from a slightly scary moment when we realised the Milan to Rome train left from a different station to the one we had arrived at from Paris - it was a great day.
We will show some pics of our Rome apartment in the next few days. It's so .... Roman!
Here's Janine, enjoying the train.

  1. Thanks again for the blog. I am really enjoying it as I relive my own adventures and anticipate my upcoming European Tour in December. Like you, I loved the fast train. I have only done London to Paris, but I loved being able to see the French country side. Best wishes and love to you both. A x
