We opted for the bus instead of train to travel from East Coast to West Coast of Italy
Lovely double decker with ample leg space and very reasonable price
Roads are excellent these Italians love concrete and leveling
Plenty of bridges that makes our Masterpieces at Bloukrans look like a small river crossing
Any case roads are very good and traffic flows because of low gradient of roads
We stopped at a ultra-city type road side cafe. This cafe is stocked right up to the roof with you guess sweet stuff
Cookies sweets you name it these Italians are into sweet stuff
Because there crime is so low owners of small shops can afford to display goods in such a way
Only little problem with Bus transport is the drop off not so central as with the trains that take you right into the center of city
Never-mind we just jumped on underground which was not so neat but arrived unmolested by pickpockets at Vatican
Then the long walk started to our accommodation in a monastery
Rome is built on 7 hills originally and we had the opportunity to tackle one hills steps. We use my phone navigator the on foot version - and it guides us up via a short cut.
Why I did not take a taxi- i was stupid
Any case I need to loose weights we tackled the steps mr with the luggage
Poor Polla I can not expect her to carry the weight
We sweated and puffed like an old
Steam engine up the steps and eventually after a long walk stumble into our accommodation
We were so excited to get going to see what is on offer in Rome settled and
Showered to be ready for the bus tour
But that is a a story for another day.
