Sigh. Time to move on. Although we loved Rome in some ways we were ready to go. Rome is quite the busy place and although I like to visit it and it has one of my favorite buildings in the world (Pantheon) I burn out on the city quicker than other locations in Europe. Adding on was while our hotel (Grand Hotel de la Minerve) was in a great location and had a great staff, the more 21st century oriented facilities were lacking and after 4 days we had enough.

One last lunch at our favorite restaurant by the Pantheon it was time to hop across the Adriatic to Split, Croatia and a beautiful and hopping Thursday night. Our hotel, the Hotel Luxe gave is a warm welcome that included cake and Prosecco, the room has a great view of Split harbor and the ferries that are coming and going to the nearby islands and the vibe in the air for this sea-side town is driving Sydney crazy. Again. At least when she travels in the future I know where I have to worry when she travels…

Now we are watching a red, red moon setting on some of the smoothest water we have seen in a while. Nice. 🙂

One last lunch… She makes friends everywhere…
