12th October
Leaving Capri was hard as we enjoyed staying in our old Villa which had wonderful views of the Ocean. We trundled down the Road with our suitcases and into the Village of Capri to book our fast ferry to Naples, 1 hour it took to get there and onto the fast train to Rome. It's the way to travel that's for sure, the train got to speeds of 300kms hr, so another hour later we were in Rome for two nights.
This time we stayed in Trastevere which is a leafy suburb of Rome and a short tram ride away from many highlights. We took an On Off bus around the city as we realised we were never going to find our way on foot to the many things we wanted to see.
Once off the bus we made our way to the Navona underground, and archeological area that lies under Piazza Navona. The Romans were a brutal lot, such an interesting city to visit though. Once again the weather has been beautiful, blue skies and sunshine everyday, awesome.
We had two nights in Rome and left late to fly to Frankfurt, a one hour time limit to get our plane to Rome. We just made the plane as they were boarding so thought that we were really smart. Only to find once we arrived in Singapore that they had left our luggage behind, not having time to transfer it to the next plane, oh dear. A mark against Lufthansa, but they did give us $300 per couple to buy necessities, so we went shopping straight away, even though we had just had a 12hr flight with not much sleep. However great Hotel in Singapore so all good.
