Auf Wiedersein Deutscheland…Ciao Roma


Our trip back to Rome is totally without incident – just the way we like it.  The plane was a few minutes late leaving Dresden and we didn’t have any spare time in Munich as our flight was boarding when we arrived at the gate.  This time our luggage arrived with us and after we collected it we caught the train from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport to Roma Termini station.  This time there was a blitz on ticket verification and there were inspectors checking tickets before travellers boarded the train and again when they got off in Rome.

We found the Hotel Corona where we’ll be staying while we’re in Rome.  It’s quite close to the station – only about a 5 minute walk.  The reception area to this hotel is not very impressive but the room is comfortable and the bathroom is modern and clean.  There’s enough room for us as we don’t plan to be spending too much time in the room except for sleeping.  There are quite a few restaurants nearby so we won’t starve (no chance of starvation on this trip – the food is great!!).  Nearby we have the opera theatre and some museums which we’ll be checking out over the next few days.


Our internet and mobile reception has been slow and intermittent in Barenfels, certainly not good enough to update this blog, which is why there haven’t been any posts over the past week.  We’re making up for it now we’re in Rome.
