We were so overwhelmed by the whole train system when we arrived because we had to switch trains 3 times (!) between the airport and Siena that we didn't catch the whole validation thing either. You can be thrown in jail for not validating your tickets! We obsessed about getting caught the whole ride (over 2 hours!) and then saved the unvalidated tix for our return trip to the airport. Score :) Which brings to mind the train we took on our return trip to the airport: it was one of those long distance sleepers with different compartments for 10 passengers with assigned seats. Bowe and I didn't figure out until almost an hour into the trip that we actually had assigned seats on our tickets and we didn't have to stand in everyone's way in the aisle of our car with two pieces of luggage. I don't even know if this makes sense cause I've just had half a bottle of wine so I'd better stop writing things now. Bye!
