No photos today, just a quick post.
Yesterday, we had an easy morning in Brussels and packed then headed for the airport - two flights later and we're arriving into Rome (FCO) at about 10:30pm - I thought oh great, now we'll have a long wait at the immigration control point - EU countries invariably have more staff processing EU passports than non-EU passports, so I was expecting a long wait. Fortunately we were second in line (due to Business Class travel and being first off the plane! :-) ), so I was expecting only a short delay. I front up to the window, still fumbling with all four passports and the officer waves us all through - he didn't even look at our passports!
We could have been anyone from anywhere! He had no way of knowing!
I have never had such an experience entering a country! I was amazed!

Hi Larmours, 3/4 f here.
ReplyDeleteWe have been following your travels now that our Internet is running better.
As for your smooth entry into Italy, maybe they have been following your blog as well!
We saw you eat a giant chocolate elephant, the children now want to see the kids eating a giant Pizza!
Speaking of chocolate elephants, Josh wants to know how it tasted?
Rawson and some oth greedy guts want you to bring back some samples, of food that is!
Charles is interested in what you would rate the Harry Potter exhibition?
The three trouble makers (Abbey, Charlie and April) were wondering how much you loved Lego Land?
Was there a chocolate factory in England, Like Willy Wonka, Leon wants to know.
We will sign off now as we have to some real school work. Ha Ha
Continue having a good time and we will touch base soon.
Lots of Love
