Rome Trip
Oct/090
Hey I know I really should update this more, and I’ve decided to start now.
I didn’t sleep last night but got out of bed at 3am, ready to fly away on my own for a week. After packing some last minute things I was on the way to the airport, never flying on my own before I was getting some butterflies. After finding the correct terminal and arrivals point, I entered into the terminal, I had already checked in online and went to drop my baggage off. After speeding through bag drop off and security, I had nearly three hours to my flight, so I went and got myself a new memory card for my PSP hoping to download GTA: Liberty City Stories with the free Airport wifi, that failed however. Thank god that the flight wasn’t as long as I expected.
Once on the plane I enjoyed my morning breakfast, its not the worst i’ve had but not the best either. We landed with abit of a bump and then went to the terminal via some crowded shuttle bus’s. Once at the terminal and past security, I went to retrieve my bag, which took about 20 mins. Getting my bag i dragged myself to the airport to termini shuttle service, got my ticket and left for Termini.
There were all sorts of people on the train, some who had just come off my flight, some Greek and some American passengers, all going different places and speak all different languages.
After getting to Termini (Rome’s central train station), I needed to find the metro station but ended up finding McDonald’s first, so I popped in and ate some lunch. Finding that my Metro ticket only cost 1 Euro, I was quite pleased. I got to my hotel checked in and checked my room out. Its quite small but at least its clean. By now I was very tired, so I dumped my bags, went for a quick walk around the block and retreated to my bed. I woke up had some Italian pizza at the hotel’s bar and then back to my room to relax and fall asleep.
See here again tomorrow for another update, hopefully with some photos.
