Once again we are amazed at the towns on top of mountains as we drove through the countryside.
In the cities and towns it seems it's all apartments. We surmised that 95% of Italians live in apartments, and have balconies full of 2 things. Plants and laundry drying.
Checked into our hotel called Maggiora Hotel.
Sounds like a Italian name. We have shown some wonderful pictures out of our hotel windows and balconies on our trip, but this is not one of them. Oh well it's only for the night.
We actually booked all our hotels, either the day before or a couple days before through booking.com and found them very good and reliable when you read the descriptions and reviews. Prices were quite good, usually under $100.00 per night.
We are quite close to the Rome airport and should have no trouble finding the drop off place for the car. Well let's hope not anyway. So far we have put about 3,700 kilometres on the car. The price of diesel is the equivalent of about $2.30 a litre, or for you Americans, if any follow our blog, about $8.00 a gallon. I guess we can't complain about are prices back home.
We drove around Latina for a while, had lunch at McDonalds, bought some vino (the low price of the vino makes up for the high price of gas). What a treat it was at McD's to have a McChicken and french fries! You do get tired of pasta and pizza after a while.
Found a nice ristorante in another hotel that seems to have a good menu for dinner.
The ristorante is open from 7:30 until 10:30 at night. We can walk to it from our hotel.
The ristorante was quite good but once again we ordered too many dishes, but that's what we do here.
Heading for the airport tomorrow morning and should land in Toronto at 9:45 PM and home before midnight, if Joey remembers to pick us up.
