Arrived safely in Rome, my home for the next six days is a lovely apartment on Via Gratchi just minutes from the Vatican. Everything went smoothly with the flight and our driver met us as planned at the airport. The 45 minute journey in from Ciampino was delightful. I have never seen such a blend on ancient buildings mixed with modern day life. We travelled down a long cobbled road and then circled the ancient city walls before entering the centre. The buildings were incredible, and so many scooters!
Our apartment has an old iron gated 'open lift' which operates via the movement of huge weights and takes us to the third floor. Once I'd unpacked it was time for a visit to a foodhall just a short distance away, a fascinating mix of foods so many pastas and cheese...heaven! With the fridge in the apartmentnow full, I type this before taking a siesta, necessary to prepare for our evening tour tonight. Having arranged that the driver from earlier returns to take us on a night time tour of the city at 9pm.
Ciao and love to you Lucas's missing you lots
