roadtrip. For a multitude of reasons we decided to cancel the rental
car and take the train.
We also decided to stay in Venice one more night and skip Bologna. So
we have one more night at Hotel Caprera (90€ / night / double) ehich
has been pretty nice, great location. Then on Wednesday we take the
train straight from Venice to Florence (74€ for us both) where we
stay at Pensione Canada (70€ / night / double) for one night. From
there we'll take the train to Termini in Rome (52€ for us both) and
find our rental apartment (B&B Boschetto 15 - 80€ / night / double)
which is near the Cavour metro stop.
Then we'll have five nights in Rome before we try to fly home,
hopefully we don't end up in some random country again ^_-
Have a wonderful trip. I think it's a good idea to skip Bologna and to cancel the car rental. You will not waste time to drive and will not have problems with he car in Florence and Rome.
