Florence Day 1

It was very eventful journey from Bologna to Firenze. Our bus that was meant to take us to the train station even after confirming with the driver that he was, took a turn away from the train station and told us to either stay on his bus for another 20mins before we get to train station, or get down and cross the road for the next bus to come along. We didn't have 20 more mins to spare so we got off and changed buses.
When we got to the station we could not find our train number on the departure board. We then realised that it had left half an hour earlier as we saw the arrival time at Firenze (Florence) and mistook that as the time of departure. So we got on the next train to Firenze only to find out we were not on a Trenitalia train but an Italo train, a totally different train company. We had to buy another 2 tickets. Only consolation was that the train did stop at Firenze, and we got to our accommodation without anymore hiccups.
