Italy - Sunday 10th June

Our last day in Roma, we had pretty much done all the things we really wanted to do so we decided to take it easy until our mid afternoon flight back to London. We dropped our bags off at the railway station and found our way to Camp del Fiori which was meant to have a great food market. It was a good market but I wouldn't say great, the different shapes and colours of pasta that they had on sale was pretty amazing and they also sold ready mixed bags of herbs and spices for specific dishes (like all the herbs and spices you need for cabonara sauce, or margarita pizza), which is such a great idea.

Biggest salami ever

We then walked up the shopping district to the Villa Borghese gardens which is like the botanical gardens I guess. It was really nice with well looked after fountains and flowers. We set up on a patch of grass and just sat for a couple of hours and had our picnic lunch. It was nice to chill out but we were also conscious that we had to get to the airport and do an epic journey home so wasn't that relaxing.

Journey back home was a pain, Ryan Air flight was delayed so we didn't get in until bout 11pm with no dinner, but it's part of the travelling cheap deal!

We came home with really great memories, bronze tans, and about a half bottle of Limoncello. Can't complain!

Highlight: Actually getting home

Lowlight: Ryan Air, you drain me. You really are so much worse than EasyJet

Interesting Fact: The gardens were developed by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, deliberately in an English style.
