Arrivederci Roma

It's goodby to Rome. Overall I was pleasantly surprised how welcoming Rome was despite the street vendors, bad tempered shop owners and some dodgy food. I think we've both come to like the way the traffic works, although not sure I'd want to live like that. Weather's been good and thanks to shade, hats, rest and sun lotion we didn't suffer too much for it, although Katarina did have to dig quite deep to complete all the walking. Hotel in Rome was very well located by the station and much better surroundings than the one in Naples. Also Rome seems so small and easy to get around despite the tiny Metro. However, I think, although the hotel was very good and friendly, the Naples hotel was a class higher. Also Naples had a superior breakfast buffet with everything you can imagine. At this hotel in Rome their centrepiece was a three-tiered stack of mostly chocolate filled pastries. We had one each morning and were already full. There's only so much chocolate even Katarina can eat. Of course we did wrap one up each morning to eat later.
