Our Emirates flight was uneventful and we finally made it to our hotel around 10.00pm after an interesting time at Fiumicino Airport. Our plane was early but we had to spend over an hour squashed in a line trying to go through Passport Control. The main problem was the big numbers of people in tour groups continually shoving and manoeuvring to get best positions.
Our hotel is great and in a fantastic location near Piazza di Pietra -our hotel room windows look out over the piazza. Our first day was spent taking it easy wandering around reacquainting ourselves with Rome. It was around 30C and quite hot in the open area near the Foro Romano. Rob went for a run early in the morning -his favourite Rome run which includes going up to the Campidoglio.
The only glitch for me is that I have ended up with legs like tree trunks post flight and long walks yesterday didn't help so I'm taking it quietly for a little while.
The hotel has a rooftop terrace which is a great place for an aperitivo in the evening before going out for dinner.
Will post photos from Venice as the wifi here has some security problems.
Where are the photos of your legs?!
