Tuesday was spent mostly traveling from Paris to Rome. We made sure we got
to the airport early so we wouldn’t have problems like we did flying from
London to Paris. We carefully balanced our checked and carry-on luggage,
then checked out of our Paris hotel and took a shuttle to Charles de Galle
Airport. Everything went fine and our flight was uneventful.
We
enjoyed seeing the alps below us during the short flight. We arrived at
the Leonardo Airport outside Rome and got our luggage and headed for the train
station to take the express to Termini Station in Rome.
As we were
walking through the airport, however, a man from a shuttle company said they
could take us into Rome for 80 euros. We figured the extra 20 euros was
worth not waiting for the train and hauling our luggage from the train station
to our hotel, and agreed.
About a half hour later, the shuttle
dropped us off at our hotel, a few blocks from Termini Station. The area
was a little better than the one around the hotel in Paris, but the rooms were
a little smaller and there was no elevator and our rooms were on the 2nd floor (we'd call it the 3rd). We settled in then had dinner at a restaurant
around the corner, and decided to call it a day.
