[Idyllchat] what to do with post-checkout luggage?

[Jay Cloidt]

That's weird. I could have sworn that I used a luggage locker in Pisa
Centrale station in 2004. Now I'm not sure what we did with our bags. We
were going from Manarola in le Cinque Terre to Florence, and we were just
stopping for the day in Pisa. Maybe we checked our luggage at the luggage
counter. The more I think about it, that's what I think we did. Rome is a
much bigger train station, so I don't know what the lines at the luggage
counter will be like, but you could do the same thing. We had them hold the
bags, then picked them up before boarding the train to Florence.

If you are going from Rome to Florence on a Eurostar train, you could
probably check your bags through to Florence in the morning. This would be a
no-brainer in Switzerland, but in Italy, it's a different story. I've never
done it, but I'm sure others here have and can relate their experience, good
or bad.
