Party of 9 in Rome


Rome day trip  

Inner turmoil at the thought of wearing sneakers, but an ultimately wise & practical decision 


The Freccia Rossa!
We make a trip into Rome with all the kids for a day. It's a huge day of walking for the kids and they are destroyed by the end (they're not the only ones). It only takes an hour on the train from Terni which is a 40 min drive from here... Provided the tickets aren't sold out once you get to the station, it's pretty straight forward...the one bonus of sold out tickets is the 'necessity' of buying Freccia Rossa/Eurostar tickets and traveling first class because they were the only tickets left.

If anyone has tried to use the trenitalia website to pre-book tickets for more than one person, hats off to you. That website is one of the worst user experiences, some might say indicative of how difficult it can be to get anything done here, enough said...marketing hat and cynical hats are off again...we're still smiling!

Doing our bit for the Italian economy 


AMAZING STAT ACCORDING TO NATHAN'S RESEARCH:

700,000 euro is thrown into Trevi fountain every year

Natural curl, no soul glo required






Pantheon, our favorite monument





Piazza Navona


Heslops on tour :)

Heading home!
