Donna and Tony on the bus in Rome
Our last day in Europe is over. We went out to a nice restaurant for dinner, wandered around the last of the shops, and have now returned to our apartment to pack for our flight to Singapore in the morning.
Roman Holiday
Donna at breakfast on the last day
Rome is amazing. We have both loved it. We especially loved the shops, but we are severely limited by the weight restrictions on the Singapore Airlines flights home. Donna has bought a new carry-on bag and has filled it already.
Our front door in the Via Vento building in Rome
Our apartment is between the Quirinal Palace (the presidential residence), the Ministry of Defence, and the Indian Embassy. There are friendly Carbinarri and Polizia nearby, with machine guns and pistols. I think we are very safe and sound.
Tony at breakfast in Rome
This morning we awoke and ventured outside to quite a different place to the weekend. There were queues of traffic and countless motor scooters racing around. After a compulsory cappuccino and croissant we continued admiring the wonders of the city on the open-top bus for a second day. The weather on the whole trip has been perfect.
Donna at Trevi Fountain. Popular place!!
Feeling a bit tired now. We have to get up early in the morning to go to the airport and wouldn’t want to miss the flight (now there’s an idea!)
Be seeing you soon.
Stammi bene.

Tony, Did you have a cappucino? Sad that your holiday and your blog is coming to an end! Enjoy Singapore. xox
I had grapefruit juice, my new favourite. I’m sad too. All good things come to an end I guess. Already planning the next one though!
Singapore is is the shopping mall Mecca of the world!
It’s been so good! Looking forward to two days in Singapore.
Just arrived after a 12 hour flight. We’re staying at the Hilton. It’s very nice. I’m out checking out the shopping while Donna is catching up on sleep. Almost home.
