After an 11 h flight to Dubai, three hours in the terminal then a further 6 h to Rome we have arrived in Italy.
Passport checking in the airport on arrival was shocking. About 500 people crammed into a room that was hot, stuffy and chaotic with only 4 staff to process non EU people entering Italy It took us over an hour to get through. When we did our driver, in his suit with his flash black Merc was patiently waiting and took us straight to our B&B in the centre of Rome.
Domenico greeted us on arrival at our B&B and showed us up to our room. After a quick shower it was out into the street for our first Rome gelato.
The next day we were out early. In the morning we walked to the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the Pantheon. After lunch we caught the bus to Saint Peters where we did the tour of the Cupola and then the ground floor. For Dinner we went to Trastevere, an anchient section of Rome full of restaurants, which was full of people eating on a Monday night.
The next day we are off to the Amalfi coast.
