Our last day in Italy, we were scheduled to take a train from Siena to Milan. We only had 1 day to spend in Milan so I had pre-purchased a "hop-on hop-off city bus tour" to see the highlights of the city. This was set for 2:30 p.m., as soon as were supposed to arrive in Milan. We had made it the whole trip with no problems with the train conductors striking. The only day we had a pre-paid tour scheduled, the train conductors went on strike! We scrambled around at the Siena train station and eventually bought bus tickets to Florence, and fortunately once we got to Florence, there was 1 train still running to Milan... We get to Milan, realize we have no euros for a taxi, so we run circles around the train station in frustration, but we finally get euros. We BARELY made it to our tour..arriving at 2:25!!! But we made it!
