Rome, Italy - July 20

Dubrovnik has been an excellent place to visit. As I said before it is very tourist friendly. It's rare that we visit a European city where the sea is the main attraction. Not an easy place to get to, but would be thrilled to return.

It is about 5:00 pm by the time we arrive at our hotel to overnight in Rome on our way home. This gives us a bit of time to visit the city. We figure there is plenty of time to sleep after the vacation, so we catch a 30 min hotel shuttle into Rome. After a dinner of Caprese salad and spaghetti we practically jog the streets of Rome to see as many sights as we can. We are able to see the Colleseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. WOW! Although not a thorough visit by any means a great taste of Rome.

The return shuttle gets us back to the hotel around 11:30. We catch a bit of sleep before being up again for our 6:00 am flight to Frankfurt and then Calgary. I'm not thrilled by the prospect of the 10 hour flight to Calgary, but I'm always glad to be home!
