We arrived safely at 6.35am on Monday- 22 hours is along time to be slotted into such a small place. We had something like 4 meals on the way! After a slow start we finally found our way by train into Rome and watched the sunrise over the countryside on the way.
Rome was great, we walked and walked for hours each day and saw so much. it is so old and has so much history. The Colosseum and Roman Forum have to be seen to believed they are 2000 years old. We spent some time in the exclusive shopping district where Sharon Stone & Gerard Depeardiu were seen the day before.
Hace taken plenty of photos to bore you all with on our return.
Our group are a real mixed bag, 5 aussies and 7 americanos. >They are worse that whingeing poms!. Would you believe 2 of the other aussies come from Bendigo! Mother and daughter, Val and Gabby Lovejoy.The third is a guy from Melbourne. Ages range from 28 - 79 which ius proving interesting when we have to haul our bags 30 mins from the train station!
We arrived in Florence late yesterday and have been out and about today. This is the shopping place for leather goods and jewellery but so far I have resisted, so far.Tomorrow we move onto Lucca for three days to visit Leaning Tower of Pisa, wineries etc.
Well till the next bulletin, arrivedecci!
