Venizia to Roma

We arrived at the water bus terminal of St Marco earlier than expected. We got an Alilaguna water bus from the terminal to the Marco Polo Airport - a delightfully scenic tour that took just over an hour. It was the most inexpensive way to get to the airport - 15 euros each. Fascinating to arrive at an airport by water bus!
We had plenty of time waiting for the check in at Italian Airways to open, so we took the opportunity to ring Ian & Yvonne and catch up on some news from home. It took forever for us to check our cases in. We love Italians, but they have unbelievably disorganized systems!
Eventually we boarded the plane and had a good flight to Rome, where we stumbled upon the shuttle bus from Terminal 3 to the Hilton Garden Hotel, a few kms from the airport.
We enjoyed a nice BBQ meal at the Hotel restaurant and a celebratory Aperol Spritz to finish our 8.5 weeks in Europe.
We will wind up our FindPenguins travel log with one final Footprint on our return home to Encounter Bay, South Australia, in a couple of days.Читать далее
