Sudden decisions are the best decisions :o)

It´s been a while since I have posted something here... but I guess another travelling adventure thus gives me an opportunity to continue some writing :o)).

More then a month ago my dad asked me .... "so where are you gonna be for New Year´s Eve?" I said honestly "I don´t know yet." The next day I agreed to go to Rome :o), two days later had my air ticket. I like these sudden decisions the most, as one can´t think too much and there is suddenly something new ahead :o).

I left a day after xmas Eve, on the 25th (for those who don´t know, in Czech republic we do not celebrate the 25th at all, our important day is the 24th Eve - I explain this as I was accused of not being nice to my family if I want to leave them on the 25th :o)).

I came to the airport at 10,30, with the flight planned on the 12. The sun was shining, I was excited and the 11 hour approached... the screen with departures suddenly showed DELAYED to my flight... (only to my flight!). Hmm.. I thought, I did good to worry to fly with Smartwings :o)... since then it was announced each hour "wait for more news next hour". I love such announcements, they really say everything.
Later I learnt the plane was broken and they were repairing it. Nice. I always dreamt to fly in just repaired plane.

I was not bored at all at the airport, it was sunny, I had good book and I finally got to relax, without hearing "come and wash the dishes", "what about dusting", "could you mop the floor, please". And at 3pm we were boarding, we were boarding a plane of Czech Airlines (hurraaayyy!) who rented the aircraft to Smartwings. :o)

You might thing I talk bit too much about leaving Prague, but the weather in Italy was so bad, that I hardly visited anything, so I have to prolong the post this way. ;)

We have landed safely, with a stop-over in Milano ;). And by 7pm I was in a flat of my friend, happy to be there. (I am not sure, but I think my flight to New Zealand took shorter time than this one to Italy :o).

Rome is really beautiful city. I was not thinking I will say this about some other city really, as I always have this unfortunate thing to compare everything with Prague. Can´t help it. And I must admit that I did not really like Paris, suprisingly.
But Rome was really charming city. Especially in the evening, with all the organge lightning, old buildings, ruins... very nice :o).



I visited only few places and I have not been on time for most of others... as in the morning it rained hard and thus I did not feel like going and in the afternoon (after lunch) when we came to buy an entry ticket, the offices were already closed (Italians!)...

But anyway, I spent there 10 days, I relaxed a lot there, got to sleep till 11am pretty much every day and I will never forget the way I celebrated the New Year´s Eve . :o)
