Mother's Day in Rome! Another beautiful sunny, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day.
We have had a terrible night's sleep. Both woke up at 3 stifling. Even though it is a security disaster we opened balcony door. It would be so easy to break into this room but we see no other way to get some air into the room.
I immediately start having an asthma attack which goes on for hours and later in the day turns into a chill/developing cold.
We decide to stay in the hotel. We did a lot of walking yesterday, are tired, have a mountain of washing/charging batteries to do and I don't feel to good. We also have many busy days coming up. So we don't leave the hotel. Quite relaxing and the right decision. Tina does masses of washing and ironing (on Mother's Day - I did offer to do it) with an idiosyncratic iron.
So ... no photos today. We already have THOUSANDS! I am not exaggerating.

1. Italian style - the toilet brush in our bathroom is so stylish! Nice flowing lines.
2. My Way - the pianist in the dining room has his cd for sale. Guess what track 12 is?
We meet our new tour guide and group. Her name is Annelies Zwijns. A real Italian name, right? No, she is Dutch.

Hey Uncle and Aunty, looks like the trip is going really well! Been reading the blog everyday... sounds extremely exciting. You'll have to upload those photos to picasa or somewhere when you get home so we can take a look!

ReplyDeleteJust spent my Sunday evening catching up on reading your blog and the smile hasn't left my face yet. You are obviously having a great time. It makes great reading. Especially loved the Rome bit as could picture it all especially all those designer shops by the Spanish steps. Just can't wait to hear your driving experiences in France. Good luck with the Tom Tom. We found it great in England but it never took us where we wanted to go in France so we gave up on it. We always wanted to stick to B roads and it wanted to take us on paying motorways!!
