25th August 2018 Back to Roma
Today was back to Roma day…a long day!! We woke up to continuing and spectacular thunder and lightning and rain. We were definitely being told it was time to be on our way…the plague was upon us with jellyfish and tempest.
The struggle up the 80 steps and then the vertical walk with suitcases is fairly monumental but if I take my time everything can be achieved! My lovely (and I do love it) new suitcase is now scratched from being dragged up cement and rock steps but its all down to character! It was also raining and soaking us and I was stupid enough to wear thongs so had to ditch them in the end and go barefoot!!
Notwithstanding I made it. We stopped and had a coffee on the way into town, took the car back to the hire place and then had a couple of hours to fill in at the station waiting for our train. We had to change trains to get down to Rome which is a bit of a pain but all went well and here we are back in the apartment. We just went out to get a quick pasta and were both struck by how disappointing the food is after the delicious food of Trieste and surrounds.
Finally to bed after a big day. Tomorrow to sort out and wash the clothes before I set off again down to Lecce for the final hurrah!!
