Things didn't start off the greatest... Sunday night we took the train up to Bedford to stay on Jenn's "friends" (that would be Andy, see photo below) army base for the night. I had a TERRIBLE bed, but did have a flat to myself... until about 3:30 or so when some army guy came home... that was strange, but he went to his room quickly, and I layed in the crap bed for an hour counting daddy longlegs and wishing I could sleep. The unfortunate part... we had to get up at 4:30 to get to the airport on time...
Up early to catch a flight from Luton airport to Rome Airport... We got there, checked in and then trekked up thru security which is where everything went pear shaped.... Jenn got stuck at security... very very very inefficient security - they wanted to search her bag, but she was 5th or 6th in the queue with only 1 very slow crabby old lady doing the searching.... long story short... we missed the flight... by mere moments we missed the flight... D'OH! Now what... we NEED to get to Florence today, Doris (one of my aunts) is expecting us. (unbeknownst to me... she missed her connection in frankfurt so in the end, we arrived within half an hour or so of each other).
Eventually, we made it... flight on alitalia at 12:15 and we were there... We had to try and figure out the Rome Termini station though to get a train to Florence... IT'S HUGE! And we came in at one end of it and had to get to the other end!!! ARGH... but.. again, we made it and arrived safely in florence... (i guess watching all those episodes of the amazing race totally paid off!!!) We grabbed a taxi, grabbed Doris from the side of the road and we were off to the B&B ... it sure felt good to have a bed that night!
