Rome/Singapore/Brisbane May 17th/18th, 2009


Up early, had breakfast and all packed up for the taxi trip to Fiumicino Airport, another crazy, mad fast driver, at one point he was doing 160km an hour, Graham was thinking how pleased he would be to get to the airport! Arrived 2 hrs. before our flight was due to leave, took 1 hr. to just check in, then was given the run around to claim tourist tax on some purchases, time ran out, missed out on refund, that's Italian's way of making sure they keep it!!! We had a good flight, 3hr. wait in Singapore then on our way home, I managed a short sleep, Graham nil. Now we definately realise the benefit of the stopover in Singapore on the way to London. Just starting to feel normal again. Thank you all for your interest in our "Once in a Ruby Moon" trip, we are pleased you enjoyed the blog.
Au revoir/Arrivederci/Cheerio for now. I intend to keep the blog going, so check in from time to time. Helen & Graham.
