Cortona to Rome

We packed up and left Cortona driving into Umbria and stopping at Passignano by lake Trasimeno. This is the spot 10 years ago where Joel picked up a sign on the grass in a park and asked what it was and it was a sign to say 'keep off the grass'.We took a photo of Joel on the grass for old time sake.The sign was no longer there. We also walked out on the jetty and drove past the camping ground where we had stayed 10 years ago in a mobile home. We then found our drop off point for the hire car in Perugia and managed to just!!!! catch the train into Rome. Unfortunately we didnt know we were suppose to validate our ticket on the platform and when the conductor came along he said we must pay a 30 euro fine. Of course we argued a good case in english which he obviously didn't understand a word and the kind lady next to us who was trying to translate for everybody finally offered to validate our ticket for us at the next station and he allowed this without any fines. Phew!!! At the next stop she raced in and raced out and managed to get back on the train in plenty of time with our validated ticket...great!. We walked to our hotel in Rome which we had booked yesteday and it was a bit of a dive but is only for 1 night. In the evening we walked to the Spanish steps where we saw another bride and groom on the steps and then we walked to the Trevi fountain and threw our coins in. We had tea near the Trevi of pasta and wandered home.
