Bonjourno! Well a quick trip on Easyjet (never heard of them? Neither had we, but they were cheap and no problems!) and we arrived in Roma. After a wait for our luggage that took longer than the actual flight, we made our way to the centre of Rome and found our next home for 4 nights - a fantastic location right next to the Campo Di Fiori, where there are daily fresh food markets (anyone who watched this year's Masterchef would have seen them cook off in the Piazza). The small things we got excited about included a separate washer and dryer - luxury (!), 3 bathrooms, and a rooftop terrace which has an amazing outlook over the local area. We settled in and had a wander around before meeting up with Katie, Steve, Anna and Xavier, who have also made their way to Rome after being in Italy since leaving the chateau. The kids had a ball catching up, and we found the most little amazing restaurant near the Piazza Navona which had plate after plate of antipasto dishes - we think around 15 different sorts altogether. The kids had huge bowls of pasta so we were all happy before heading homewards, and stopping for the compulsory gelato on the way- delicious, just as I remembered!
We headed home for sleep but after putting the kids to bed, we had a cup of tea and sat on our roof top terrace watching falling stars, listening to the many bells chime and having the moon rise over us. The weather is so much warmer here so it was a perfect way to finish the night - so beautiful!
