Not much to report today…travel day, but fortunately no missed planes!!
We set off at 7ish this morning to walk the short walk to the bus to take us to the airport. Now I say short, and indeed it was, but try taking a super case on 4 wheels down a street that has to be steeper than any the average Aussie would see. All the muscle power was used to prevent it hurtling off without you and bouncing into the sea. Perhaps a slight exaggeration but you get the picture.
Anyway it was a smooth ride out to the airport. A chaotic, crowded airport experience but nothing too unusual. Spending our last pennies on tea and coffee. We went to a place that said free wifi but you had to spend 25 TL to get the WiFi so we had to scrounge our lira together to make the grade. Airports everywhere generally give you the shits!!
We are so nervous about missing planes now…even more neurotic than previously which is pretty bad… that we both get very tense. Anyway here we are back in Rome. I must say I have loved Turkey, as I do every time I go there but Rome does feel a lot like coming home. We indulged in a taxi home.
Now the washing machine is whirring, the wine is open and Chris has rushed off to get some vongole (clams) to whip up a pasta. Before we eat we’ll go downstairs to the little bar over the road for a pre-dinner drink. This life is very compatible!!
Thats all for now my lovelies.
