Ciao all, We arrived in Roma around 12pm Italian time Tuesday. we were picked up at the aeroporto by Gianni our taxi driver and taken on a small tour of the surrounding streets of our apartmento because of some parade which was a great bonus. Shirleys' planning has again been fantasico as we are within due' ( 2) blocks of the main tourist attraction in Rome such the Pantheon,Trevi Fountain or the Spainish steps. The scene from the window of our apartment is as from a scene from any old sixties movie, cobbles stone streets, eating places and movement of people slowing walking and avoiding the cars and motor scooters that are passing by. These streets are as wide as the driveway in our tighes hill house so you need to keep your wits about you because the drivers rarely slow down they just beep their horns.Dianne,Balty and Karen joined us for dinner at a little pizzeria,where as usual, been the friendly Australians we are ,we took up a conversation with a lovely couple of ladies from where else, but Australia. My Italian has improved very quickly, I can speak due' words instead of uno (1). Shirley and I hope all is bene (good) and you are all well. Whow all of this in just day 1 of the Italian adventure
Arrivederci.
