Arriverderci Italia

Sadly, it was time to say goodbye to Italy but we were excited to move on to the next stage of our journey - USA. We had a 2-hour flight to Frankfurt, in transit for about an hour and a half, and then an 8-hour flight to New York. The flight from Frankfurt to New York was one of the emptiest planes we have ever been on and was only about half full so we had the luxury of spreading out quite a lot. Neil scored himself a row of four seats in the middle of the plane and was able to lay down and have a decent amount of sleep, while I chose to stay in my assigned seat by the window but had the room of two seats rather than one. It was such a great flight.
We had been warned about getting through customs but honestly it was an absolute breeze. No queues, the customs guy was friendly and chatty, and we were able to walk on out seamlessly. The longest part was waiting for our luggage.
There is a 7-hour time difference between Italy and New York so by the time we jumped in our Uber and reached our bnb it was around 3.00am Italian time, making for an extremely long day. The next day we pretty much just stayed in the bnb all day and rested, apart from going out for food and a short stroll, because we had to be back at the airport again by 8.30 am this morning for our flight to Salt Lake City.
Finally, I really had to post some pictures of the Trevi Fountain because I just loved it!Read more
