Today was another spectacular day....sunny and warm! We had to check out of our rooms today by 11am, but we spent the day around the pool soaking up as much sun as we could before we left for Rome and back home. The hotel was kind enough to provide us with a shower facility so we could clean up before hitting the road.
Yvonne was not looking forward to riding those treacherous, winding roads back to Cagliari...lucky for her we read the map correctly this time!! It seems that on our way here we either were given poor directions, misread the map or missed a turn or something?? It was a new 4 lane highway from start to finish...picturesque along the coast shaving at least 1 hr off the drive. DUH!!!
This is where it gets exciting.....stay with me.....our flight was leaving ....in our minds at least, at 22:50hrs. We got to the terminal early as I said, so we sat down for dinner and beers to pass the time. We pulled out the boarding passes and realized that we weren't on the same flight as Joe and Yvonne. Two flights each day to Rome ...06:30hrs and 22:50hrs......We had missed our 06:30hrs flight!!!!! Accidently booked the wrong one. We were required to purchase new tickets at a premium price....not good for morale!!!
nevertheless...we arrived at Rome and got to the hotel no probs after that....what a mess.
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!
