We officially made it to Rome last night...not with out some difficulty but we made it none the less. I swear we are not ment to fly because every time we do we have a problem, and the flight is always delayed. This time we made it to the airport in Lisbon no problem, thanks to global surf school driving us there. Once we got to the airport however our stupid flight to Brussels was delayed by and hour...thank goodness our connection flight wasn't right away. Once we got to Brussels we had no problem there, other then the fact they did not actually announce they were boarding the plane. All in all both flights were pretty short no more them2 hours each, so 4 hours total. 

This is going to sound like a complete blonde moment but once we arrived in Brussels I realized I actually don't know what country that city is in, hahaha yup that's right I said it. Kristy didn't know either so we googled it...once we got to the apartment that is. Airports in Europe don't have free wifi, wtf! What's that about, there all twice as big as our stupid piedley little airport in halifax and they don't have free wifi. I am continually annoyed at how long it takes flights to taxi out to the runway, I'm so used to a tiny airport where you hardly taxi at all, sometimes I swear it feels like we're going to drive to our destination not fly. 

I forgot to mention in one of my previous blogs about our airport experience once we arrived in Lisbon, Portugal. We actually had to get out of the plane on the tar Mac, and take a bus from the plane to the airport. That was a first, needless to say Lisbon airport is probably once of the smallest airports so far. 

Once we got to the airport in Rome we were saposed to take the train from the airport to the subway and the take the subway to the apartment. However this did not go as planned. We went to th train station and tired to by our ticket however the train was just getting ready to leave and we missed it, so we figured its probably like the subway and runs all the time...nope not the case. The next train wasn't until 6:30am the next day! We didn't actually have the apartment number so we couldnt just take a cab and hope for the best, because last time we did that the people didn't show up to let us in. Eventually we walked over to this bus this and he right away was like what's wrong how can I help you. It must have been written all over our faces that we were pissed and annoyed. Needless to say he turned our night right back around and couldn't have been more helpful at all. He showed us on a map where the apartment was and and arranged for us to take the bus shuttle right to the door. The funny thing is? We were on the shuttle with two other Canadians who were from Quebec! the people with the bus shuttle even said the day we leave the will come pick us up! So far my faith in humanity still intact. 

We're venturing out of our apartment today to find a grocery store and go into the city centre to find a tourism place, should be fun!
