[Loopylooloo]

Arrival in Rome was very easy, the airport was almost empty, we sailed through immigration remembering not to go throught he EU lane, nobody asked for our EU PLF, or Covid pass. Luggage appeared promptly and we were out in less than fifteen minutes. We did wear our FFP2 masks, but noticed hardly anyone in Italy is wearing them now. We had pre booked a driver for our transfer to the Hotel, via Romecabs, who are always really reliable. Our driver took us into the city via all the best sights, past the Colloseum, and so many other ruins and Basilica’s. Our Hotel is not quite the luxury the name promised, (Dharma Luxury Hotel) our ‘comfort’ room is not comfortable at all, the bed is hard as a rock and it is now 3:45am I am still awake writing this as I cannot sleep! We did have a lovely dinner though, near to the Trevi Fountain, at Ristorante Dell Patriota, we chose Carbonara Tartufo, (truffle carbonara) and Tiramisu. Delicious! And two bottles of Chianti. The Trevi Fountain was all lit up as we passed by after dinner, and very romantic.

Tomorrow we are doing the dreaded tests, then going on a Segway tour around Rome.
