Day 163: All Roads Lead to Rome

 It was to be a hectic day.  We had to get up early in order to make it to the Edinburgh airport for our morning flight to Rome.  Once there, as it seems everywhere in Europe, the airport was stifling hot.  We wondered around as I carried my extremely heavy back pack it didn’t take long before I was sweating profusely.  From the open waiting area to board the plane to the little shops in the airport it was HOT!

There was no relief on either the plane or the airport in London.  I was so hot in London I started feeling sick to my stomach.  I am not even wearing a jacket and not only am I drenching my shirt but I had sweat beading on my forehead.  This is insane. 

It was yet another hike through the airport in Rome, which was much cooler after all it was quite warm there so they actually had the air conditioning on.   We wound up having to wait over an hour for our rental car company to pick us up from the airport.  Then we had to drive to Agropoli where we were staying for the night before finishing the drive to Ciro.

We had a GPS, but that didn’t stop us from getting lost after all it had us literally driving in circles.  After a nice chat with a fellow running an gelato shop we got direction that actually got us to our hotel. The sister of the owner greeted us a little after 10:30 at night and offered to make us dinner which we happily said yes to. 

Dinner was served around 10:50 and we finished and were in bed by midnight. When we woke up the next day we had the following view:
