Wow, we are in Rome.....Oh my god it's amazing, old, noisy and not very user friendly (hopefully this will improve).....Flight took just over 12 hours and was uneventful. We both managed to get a few hours sleep. Again we are amazed at how easy it is to get through customs...we just walked through in both Singapore and Rome. We caught the train from the Airport to city centre,( somewhat different to Singapore) and after walking and dragging luggage for what seemed to be klms to join the Metro Rail System,and after buying our tickets discovered that the only way on to the platform was via a very long staircase, so we made our way to street level and caught a cab. The taxi ride was incredible. On arrival at the apartment we booked, there seemed to be some confusion regarding our booking. What we were taken to, wasn't what we booked, and after a slightly animated discussion, we have the apartment we originally booked. We are staying right opposite the Vatican Wall.It is about midday here, and we have just made a cuppa, and then we will head back into town. We have already driven past St. Peter's and can't believe the queue for the Vatican tour.Thankfully I booked tickets, which apparently means we don't have to wait in line tomorrow

ROME - I can only imagine that it would be very different to Singapore and Australia. It is 1:30am for you and 11:30am for us....I think! So glad that everything is working out for you.

Very jealous still and hope you are enjoying yourself and not worrying!
Cant wait to see the photos! :)
Love Shel, Jono and Harry Man!!
Ah yes, I don't want to say I tried to warn you, but......
ReplyDeleteUm don't think the stairs will get any better in Italy, apparently no one there has anything more than a hand bag to cart around and never heard of knee troubles!!
Oh and unless you can be just as animated as they are (although they are far less serious than you imagine; hopefully you don't experience anything to know the difference!), and have a good grasp on the italian language, it'll be just as user unfriendly!
Make the most of every second (I'm sure I don't have to tell you).
Loving the updates here. XOXO
