My time in Rome is rapidly dwindling as I write this post. In a little less than two hours, I will be on the train, heading back to Torino. Giusi will pick me up at the train station and I'll be back in Volpiano to pack and prepare for Monday's big start to the last major part of the trip.
Monday's train will take me from Torino to Milano and then from Milano to Zurich, Switzerland!
I may or may not post on Monday for the blog folks out there, but we'll just have to wait and see what it's like in Zurich.
By the way, on Tuesday, I will be heading from Zurich to Innsbruck, Austria.
This trip I am taking, if everything works out, will enable me to visit 10 different countries (11 if you include my return to Italy). I will return to Torino on March 21 late or March 22 early. either way, I am looking forward to seeing the views from trains and my very limited time in each destination I have won't give me the impact I've received in Torino, Volpiano and in Rome, but I do have some places where I will get at one full day to take in what I can (Berlin, Prague, London and Paris) while others will unfortunately only get the night and a bit of time in the morning before I head off to the next place.
Nonetheless, this should be fun and actually relaxing because it's not like I will be driving or walking the whole time. I'll be on a train. I will travel light and I will read a book or two, write a few postcards (I will pick some up in each place the train does stop) and provide my blog readers with some stories from the road (actually rails). I am planning to take three flights along my trip, too, which can help me catch up a bit on time in the cities where I can benefit the most.
For those who are interested, one place will be Ireland so I can have a beer or two on St. Patrick's Day (which, if you didn't know, is celebrated more than just the one day in Ireland!).
OK, time for me to finish this post. I need to eat a little something and shop for a few snacks before I get on the train.
Take care out there and be sure to follow me (in spirit and with comments and emails) as we continue along this world of wonder!
Ciao!

Dude, when in Ireland, go to the Guinness plant and have a freshly-brewed Guinness. Brilliant!
