Rome - Day 7

Most of the day was spent taking the short 2-hour flight to Rome, Italy.

Bought 2 boxes of macarons from a mini Ladurée stand at the Paris Orly airport; fast service as there were just 2 customers before us.

We were provided with airport lounge tickets from Ravi's Singapore Airline mileage card but was highly disappointed with the food served.  We picked a few mini-sandwiches and headed fast to the deli-style stores for better tummy fillers.

As mentioned in this post, the Rome apartment was better.  We settled in for a bit before we explored the neighborhood.  The apartment location was very near the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica.  There are lots of gelatarias, cafes and souvenir shops around;  the metro, bus and taxi stations are also nearby.

Sarah and I had a lot of gelato on this trip, they were all good!

Happy we found one at the airport!
