Before we left we did the garden and packed. All pretty hectic, we didn't even have time to fix the retic! Ah well! No sleep tonight after getting to bed at 11pm and waking up at 2am!
NEW YEARS EVE!
Set off from home at 3am for a 6am flight. Finally arrived in Rome at 6pm on New Years Eve after almost 24 hours of traveling. The second flight from Dubai had hardly anyone on it - it was great as we all got a row each to sleep. Movies - Infinity War, Leave No Trace, The Big Short, DeadPool 2, Crazy Rich Asians - all surprisingly good, especially Leave No Trace. We had a small bite to eat in Dubai - noodles and burger. Not much else to do there.
We were so tired when we arrived at our AirBnB - Feline House. Luisa was lovely, and showed us everything. We managed to take everything in, just! We walked around to restaurants, but the were all full, so we got takeaway pizza which was lovely.
Sooooo tired, but we still got up at 12am for fireworks - they were so loud they startled us, and Paish, Mummy and me went up to our roof to watch them - quite amazing as the were all around, and people were releasing lanterns into the air too - spectacular evening, unforgettable.
NEW YEARS DAY
We woke at around 7.30 - not a bad sleep considering, and walked to a bakery - amazing bread and croissants - usual Wigley European holiday breakfast! It was so nice, and nicely polished off!
Our first stop was the Vatican - soooo crowded, and got approached by a lot of punters trying to sell us tickets, selfie sticks and solar phone cases - no thanks! It was beautiful, and Paish did her usual summersault - why not!?
Lunch - pizza and pasta outside Vatican, which was lovely.
Next step - The Spanish Steps, joined in the procession which was funny, then walked to the top of the steps and took loads of photos.
Ice creams and chestnuts - so nice to finally find a gelato shop! Sat outside to finish our ice-creams.
Dinner on way home outside restaurant inside a tent - pizza and pasta sooooo nice! Nicest ever! Photo comp - Mummy won 2, Daddy won 2, Rox won 1, Paish won 0. Poor Paish!
26k steps! What a day, we were all so exhausted after so much walking. No run tonight!
Watched a few snowboard videos.
