Flying round-trip into/out of Rome and trying to decide whether to do:
Rome --> Venice --> Florence --> Cinque Terre
or
Rome --> Cinque Terre --> Florence --> Venice
Our flight home doesn't depart until 6pm, so we were thinking we'd just head towards Rome first thing in the morning the day of our flight. I'm guessing it'll be much less risky to make Venice our last stop, since it's a direct (and fairly frequent) train between the two -- or are they both pretty similar? (Or both calling it too close?) We'd rather make our travel day annoyingly long than have two travel days in a row, if possible.
