More Transport Fun - sssssstrike!!!!

I swear the Eurail read my blog the other day and is now out to spite me. OK, a couple of weeks ago the French had train strikes (4 in 8 days) and now it is the Italians turn. So I'm trying to get to Venice tomorrow and all the trains are cancelled except for one - which means I have to pay more for a booking fee - or forfeit my accomodation that has already been booked in Venice. Ah Melissa, so jealous.
