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.

Coastal Tour aboard the Helios

The Helios
We finally got to tour the coastal beaches and grottos to the north of  Arbatax, in the Gulf D'Orosei. We boarded the Helios this AM at 8:30am and made our way along the coast. It took us approx. 1.5 hrs to reach the 1st beach but we saw tons of sights along the the way.
Is it just me or is this ship eerily reminicent of the SS Minnow on the infamous 3 hr tour???   We were a bit nervous at first but...whatever....at least I had Lovie with me!!!
