Rome

After about 7 hrs on the plane we arrived at 12:35pm Italy time. I slept the entire flight...just in time for my coffee and muffin prior to landing. Kim however, sat awake the entire time. Good flight I thought...:) Tons more leg room than Air Transat!
Its a suprising 27C here today but a bit overcast.
ok....check it out....while picking up our baggage the conveyor stops after about half the bags come out...10 mins goes by.....we are both getting antsy, only to find that a loose strap from my bag got caught in the dumb thing before ripping it off and putting a fist size rip in my bag....Oops!...my bad (blush)
Found a shuttle to the hotel that made only 2 stops before ours...awesome.
Hotel Londra-Cargill....nice place ...nothing fancy but clean and in the midst of all the tourist stuff. Perfect!
Its about 3pm now...gonna clean, go get a bite to eat.....a beer and do some sight seeing baby ya!

Sadly this blog reads in reverse. To see the trip from the start you need to scroll to the bottom and work back up.

Arbatax, Sardinia

Today was such a beautiful day that we decided to sit by the pool and catch a few rays!  It is about 28C, clear skies and a slight breeze coming off the ocean...sweet!! The only downside is, there is no poolside service here. We have to go into the bar area every time we want a beer. Needless to say we are wearing a path!! (kidding of course)
The beach here is small by comparison to others here but the water is so green and clear.....beautiful. Good thing,  because I think they refrigerate their pool water. I see all the Nordic guests swimming in the pool and thinking the water is too warm....what the hell??? Me...I'm out...if it is 70F I'd be shocked.
We found a little pizzeria (shocking..in Italy???!!) by the port and had dinner. We were skeptical at first because the decor was pretty base, the furniture fairly greasy spoonish...but the food was priced good and tasted even better...Likely the best pizza I have had since we got here....and I have had some good ones!!!
Tomorrow is supposed to be a really nice day...which is why we booked a boat tour that takes us up the coast to all the nice beaches.....starting at 8:30am until 6:30pm. We stop at various beaches to along the way to lay in the sun...do lunch...explore a couple of grottos (sea caves)...should be a a fun day.
