Trip 2011

No Egypt.

No Greece.

We left Heathrow this morning for Rome. Left the hotel in London at about 0710 for the airport. Left Heathrow at about noon after some delays due to high winds. Arrived at Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport about 1445 local. After a taxi ride from the airport directly to a hotel not very far from the Colosseum. It wasn’t quite Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, but it appears that turn signals and staying between the lines are pretty much optional here.

Another expensive city, but a heck of a lot more hilly than London was.

At least our hotel is relatively close to the Colosseum.  The walking is going to be interesting with all the hills.
