Yay Boingo! I was going cross-eyed looking!
May I have the link to that please for MAPS! ?
how to take the train ("There is an hourly parking lot several hundred meters past the Empoli train station. You can buy a ticket for the number of hours you expect to be in Florence. Do not park in the spots opposite the train station because they have a very short maximum time limit. Return train tickets can be purchased for around 10 euros per adult and at a reduced rate for children between the ages of x and y. Look at the posted schedule which lists all trains departing Firenze for various locations around Italy, and locate the ones which go to Pisa-Livorno and which stop in Empoli. The stops are all listed, and Empoli will be the 3rd or 4th stop from Firenze. The departure platform number in the Empoli and Firenze stations are also indicated on the schedule. For example, trains going to Firenze from Empoli leave from platform 1, which will help you find this on the schedule, which is in Italian. Make sure to stamp your ticket as you leave the station and enter the platform area."

:jumpy: I'm excited to see that they're finally exploring the Tuscany area. I spent my birthday there a couple of years ago and it was soo beautiful. Just a speculation: Its possible that the teams landed in Firenze and had to find the next clue/do some task while in the city. Since most of historic Florence is for pedestrians only, I doubt that they made them drive here. The driving scenes we saw from the preview were definitely way out of old town Florence, and more of the typical small towns that surrounding the city. With regards the Empoli, its basically the main connection point for trains in that region. It branches into three main directions; North East for Firenze, North West for Pisa/La Spezia and the Italian Riviera and South towards Siena and the rest of Tuscany.
