Taxis, Buses and planes

By the time our taxi driver Paolo picked us up (on time at 7.45am), to take us to the bus, it was a 50km wind and pouring rain. Visibility about 20 meters!

Needless to say we experienced Italian Monday morning work traffic at its worst in this weather.

Thank goodness I wasn’t driving. The place to catch “the bus”, booked online, was just on a main road somewhere in Salerno. Our taxi driver was fantastic, not only getting us there, but not leaving until he had checked with a cafe nearby that our mbus stopped where we were left in the rain.

We had time for a quick coffee and loo stop, as this may be our last for the three and a half bus ride to Ciampino Airport. We only have an hour to get on the plane if the bus is on time!

So here we are sitting in the back seat of a small bus! Roaring along the Italian freeways at about 140km. The weather does not seem to be improving and it appears all “Ryan Air” flights are delayed or cancelled today. So far WE are on schedule! But it does kind of feel like it will be a miracle if we make it back to Malta today!!
