We had an uneventful flight to Rome – just what you want! Neither of us slept much on the plane so we were a bit sluggish making our way to the customs area. It’s a good thing there were loads of people to follow from terminal 3 to the immigrations concourse – my brain was working in slow motion!! Our plane arrived with at least 3 other international flights – the line for customs was crazy!! We snaked around and around and finally got to the end where they had automated passport readers. It was super easy and efficient!! We scanned our passports, had our photo taken and then had our passports stamped!! The exit lead directly to a massive baggage claims area and fantastically, our bag came sliding down the conveyor belt in short order! We were all settled by 2pm and Matthew and Margie arrived about an hour later. We took a taxi to our Airbnb which is located in the neighbourhood of San Giovanni!
Our Airbnb is lovely – on the second floor of a typical Rome apartment building. Lots of marble stairs and floors. The unit has a central hallway and each room has a door (good for keeping the place warm!). It’s very comfortable!! The neighbourhood is very interesting with lots of little shops and restaurants. We did a bit of exploring on Monday but will do more today.
