Long Train Home

I boarded the train in Prague not knowing if I would make it to Rome. There was a rail strike due to take place at midnight the would shut down all Italian Trains. I switched trains in Munich and was told I would only make it as far as Bologna. After several hours underway a conductor came by and said that the German train I was on was rerouted and it would go all the way to Rome and, in fact, was the last train into Italy. I felt lucky and enjoyed the beautiful scenery as we snaked through the Austrian countryside, over the Brenner Pass into Italy. When I reached the main station in Rome, there were no trains running and people were camped out everywhere. I ended up taking a bus to the airport since not even the metro trains were running.
