Forgot to tell you,

On the way home last night, we got on a train which we thought was the express, turns out it wasn't. So, while being bored to death waiting for the train to start up again, I wandered off down to the front to ask the driver how long it would take...(I'd had a couple of Peroni's by this stage)

Long story short, the driver asked me if I wanted to have a drive of the train!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!

So here I am, between San Margherita and Levanto, driving a Trenitalia Train!!!!

I can tell you now, its not that hard. There are two levers, one is the 'go lever' and one is the brake. Not like theres a wheel or a clutch is there?

So for about 40kms I was driving this big old train, incedible. The driver barely spoke english, I barely spoke Italian, but he still let me drive this $4million machine for a bit, how cool is that!

Anyway, after mastering the signals and speeds, I remembered I had left Jules back down in one of the carriages....oops! So I hung up my Train Drivers cap and headed back down the train....

"Where have you been??!!"

"No where special, just.....DRIVING THE TRAIN!!!!!!"

Coolest night ever....
