Ancona to Rome.

Ciao! We are in Roma!! 🇮🇹 My father never set foot outside of Australia but told me once that if he could visit just one city anywhere in the world it would be Rome. So I'll be thinking of my Dad as I explore this city.💙

It has been an interesting day as we made our way to Rome. Suffice it to say Murphy's Law came into play more than once. Nevertheless we are here in our hotel room after all these little transport and hotel glitches and look forward to a few days exploring parts of Roma! The hotel room is definitely a welcome improvement on last night's cabin on the ferry - but that was part of our adventure and we are glad we did it.

The Italian countryside was varied as we travelled over 300km to get here. It started with long sandy beaches with literally hundreds of umbrellas and chairs. They weren't in use. Then we left the city and moved through mountains (lots of tunnels) and hilly country. Very picturesque. Some of these towns we passed through would have been nice to visit.

It's now late afternoon. A walk around this area would be a good idea but it will have to wait. After today's adventures an early dinner and quiet night is in order.

The first photo is from Ancona. Then snaps taken on our journey. Finally our hotel room in a very central location about a block from the main train station.Read more
