Anyone for a 4.45am taxi?!

Yep, it's gonna be an ugly start to the day – taxi at 4.45am gnat's crack to Gatwick and the pleasure of a Sleazyjet flight awaits us….
But we are going to Rome!
Mr H can finally stop banging on about wanting to go there as its actually going to happen. We have an Airbnb booked near Piazza Navona, an airport pick up, two saddo tourist passes to collect that let you get on the Hop On/Off buses, two restaurants so far booked for dinner that look delicious (and yes, at least one of them has a decent cocktail bar, as the Italians have never been that good with anything beyond the vino and birra..)
Ok, so the weathers a bit dodgy – cheers for the thunderstorms – but we will hunker down and people watch face down in an never ending pizza if all else fails.
I was last in Rome in 1986 I think, inter-railing with two girls from school, who I ran away from as they were such little cows… They went straight home and I went on to have a ball for last 10 days. So here we are, thirty years and a husband later, heading off to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary – hopefully we will manage to return together…..
And then next Tues is poor H's knee replacement operation – anyone passing Parkside between Tues afternoon and next Sat afternoon, do please pop in. He's bricking it – unsurprisingly – so all visitors are very welcome.
Ciao for now X X
