Italian Trains 2

For the trip from Florence back to Milan, we got on a nicer train that does Rome-Florence-Bologna-Milan and back at high speed. It seemed to top out around over 300kph, but I only paid enough attention to the display to snap this photo - the countryside really moves at that speed. most of the times was in the 270-280 range though. It still has conventional tracks, but very smooth and relaxing overall. First class tickets were about €75/$100. Then you get off and walk/taxi/bike/or do Smart car rentals or like a Car2Go type system. Just seems so modular, smart, efficient.
