Hey there - I'm not the swiftest but I figured out how to beat the Italian stuff. I won't repeat what I said on the e-mail. What e-mail you say! Why, the one I wrote and then managed to lose - or at least I think that's what happened. I will repeat and hope you didn't get the e-mail.
The trip over was lousy - although the leg room was pretty good. But the plane was late getting away from Phoenix. Therefore we missed our flight to Italy. Ran like the dickiens to another flight. Caught it. But the guy who was supposed to pick us up waited for two hours and then left. So we got a taxi. Everything is expensive in Italy. Even the Italians say that. Or at least our guide did - blames it on going to the Euro.
Our room is okay but not the one we thought we were getting - with a balcony view of the gardens. Balcony view of the back of the hotel - but not noisy. The terrace - that does have a nice view if you get up and go over to the ledge - is closed.
First whole day lhere we took the hop-on-hop-off bus but just stayed seated for a tour of Rome. Nice driver and guide dropped us off close to our hotel although they had said earlier that they would not.
Yesterday we walked to the Borghese Museum and Gardens
Then walked the Vatican. 4 GB steps. We were bushed. Lots of pictures. Cleaning ladies are here now. Signing off.
