They call it the Eternal City ...

blamebramptonAgain, I am reminded that it is a terrible waste to use Rome as a transit stop. But it IS always there, and I can come back to see it properly again ... However, before I run out the door for food and a leg stretch, guess how long it took me to get here from Sydney?[Poll #1637488]

Date: 2010-10-28 07:29 pm (UTC)I did Lismore to Sydney by bus once and thought I had lost my mind, but apparently there actually IS a replica Ulhuru along the route. Hideous stuff! And yes, it was 38 ;-)

Much like the giant Oyster at Taree which is now a car dealership. Though I have been inside the Big Prawn and looked out through it's eye.

Date: 2010-10-28 02:49 pm (UTC)My husband told me that when he traveled to NZ he needed 36 hours, so I guessed 33 hours from Sydney. Am I right?

Date: 2010-10-28 07:31 pm (UTC)As to your guess, you would have been spot-on had it not been for delays in Singapore that meant I had to catch a later flight from London to Rome. Alas, 38.
