The weather wasn't that fantastic but it could be worst but thank God - it wasn't that bad. The trip started with us travelling on Friday nite after school and work. As usual, the traffic was bad. It jammed for about an hour or more on the autoroute even before we hit Lyon. By the time we got the the hotel, it's closed to midnite... plus it's freezing cold!
The next day, we woke up with the ground full of snow. Our car was covered with a thick layer of icy snow. It's a pity it didn't last too long and we didn't manage to take a picture of that!
It's really a long way to Rome! I'm still wondering how did DH manage the 12 hours drive? and how did we manage to ride for 12 long hours IN the CAR! It will only take us an hour to fly from Lyon and it's not that expensive... but again with our sleeping habit and Matthew, taking the car is definitely a much better choice for us. (we took our pillows with us for all the trips we had made)
Anyway, Rome was overall a nice place to visit. As usual, many places to visit...too many good choices. We didn't visit all the places but only those "more interesting" ones. With Matthew and me, DH can't go many places in a day, so he decided to visit only one or 2 places at the most per day. He was quite upset on the first day as he thought we could walk more and covered more places! But very soon, he realised that we were all too tired after the long journey, so decided to head back to the hotel and took a 2 hrs nap. We simply just fell asleep - so soundly and deeply.
The hop on and off bus is really good for me who can't walk too much in a day due to my backache and knee problem. We took the bus and went to different places without having to walk too far. DH's inital plan was to walk to all the places that we are going to visit but failed as it's really too tiring for me!
These are some of the places we have visited:
