Day 28 Italy 2008

Today is our last day at Casa Rondini. We are packed and ready to go. I went down and had a great visit with Bozena. We took some pictures of our hosts and bid them a sad farewell. We dreaded carrying those heavy bags down the long stairs, and wouldn’t you know, it was the hottest day since we had arrived, so we started out to Rome hot and tired.



Cheryl made us up a picnic, and we stopped before we got to Rome to enjoy it.

We went to the car rental place at the airport to turn in our car, and hauled our heavy bags down a very long hot corridor toward the Hilton Hotel where we had reservations for the evening. Upon arriving, we found that our reservations were for another Hilton that was on the other side of the airport, which opened last December. Luckily, they shuttled us over there. We planned to get a quick night’s sleep to get up at 2:30 a.m. to catch the 4:00 a.m. shuttle. We found our room to be quite nice, very modern, with wooden floors, and free internet access. We strolled around the hotel to check it out, sat in the lobby, and enjoyed a glass of wine. We then had a nice dinner, and called it an early evening.
