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.

Orgosolo

We decided to tackle another "white knuckle" drive throught the mountains to visit a small town called Orgosolo. This town/village is know for its politically charged grafitti that adorns the walls of the town. The towns folk have accepted this as art rather than an eyesore...started by a local highschool teacher in 1975 to give students the chance to "vent" and express their opinions. Over the years it has become a tourist attraction and the village has embraced it with passion.
Here only a few of the images seen on the towns walls.....enjoy!
