What a crazy 24 hours!
Our flight was awesome – Alitalia were fabulous! We landed 5 minutes ahead of schedule at 7.55am. We were in a taxi by 8.35 and even with peak hour traffic, we were checking in to Domus by 9.15. We felt so fortunate – they had our room ready!
Spending 10 nights here is exciting as we were able to fully unpack. So we did that and then made a quick call to mum to tell her we are here safe and sound and after some nice hot showers, we hopped into bed at 10.30am for a nap. By 2pm we were out and about. We only had two things to do today – pick up our weekly biglietti for the metro and buses and go and visit St John Lateren to pick up our Year of Faith Pilgrim Kits and grab some pizza. St John Lateren is such a beautiful church and this is the Pope’s church! If you are in Rome, you definitely have to visit it. We didn’t mind heading back there again! After we got our two tasks done, we spent an hour sitting on bus 16 going from one end of the line to the other and back again – always the best and most relaxing way to see any city when you are tired!
Our only must do tonight is to stay awake until 9pm.
Happy Blizzard Day and Night to all of those in New England. Yes… I’m tracking the storm from here. I can’t help it!
