Day 4928 (30/06/2023)

A cool & wet start to the day, which is a quite a relief after the recent high temperatures. A busy day in the office and at the gym. 



I asked my wife for kedgeree for dinner, as it's one of my favourites and she makes it so well, and this one was really lovely & very tasty.

Day 4924 (26/06/2023)

My wife is still off work for a couple of days and it is just a gentler return to work for me before quite a busy bit. It is hot in the UK but at least it is cooler than Rome.  


I made us a nice brunch, based on something I saw Jamie Oliver do, French / eggy crumpets, with avocado & tomato, not too bad :-)








We popped out in the afternoon and had a nice Costa.

Day 4922 & 4923 (24 & 25/06/2023)

The end of our holiday in Italy :-(


An early morning taxi journey to the airport for thee of us, where we sailed thru security & passport control again and then had some breakfast. Lee's plane was in the evening so they had a few extra hours of sightseeing.






Then on to the plane.



Bristol airport was depressingly awful.



Then home to unpack and water the garden. Then we had a nice Chinese in the evening.





On Sunday we were still recovering from the holiday. we went to see my parents in the afternoon and finished the Chinese in the evening.




Day 4921 (23/06/2023)

Our last full day in Italy and the 39th Anniversary of me and my wife first meeting. We went out for a wander around Rome, then going to Tiber Island.










Then we had a bit of a walk around and visited another ornate church, where there was a wedding happening.





Then we had some food and a few drinks to cool down.





Then back to the apartment to get changed and we went out for dinner with Lee in the evening but whilst it weas lovely, especially to spend time with them, we were still full and quite tired, so we could have done with just going to bed.
















Day 4920 (22/06/2023)

Lee was feeling better today, so me and my wife went out for a few hours on the metro to visit the Spanish Steps.



















Then we visited the Tea Shop at the bottom of the Spanish Steps, which we visited last time, the sandwiches and cakes were lovely and the iced tea was very refreshing. 




Then we went off to the Trevi Fountain.





Then after an ice-cream we ended up at the Pantheon. 








Then after a very hot bus journey back to the apartment, we freshened up and then in the evening we went out with Lee for a quick pizza and managed to get on the evening bus tour.














Then we had a little walk around and found the area where we stayed last time7yrs ago.



And had an ice-cream before catching a bus back.
