Ciao Roma

                                                
On our last day in Rome we got to see the more modern side of the city, the non touristy area.  A section of Rome leading to the airport actually resembles other parts of Europe.  
We reached the airport on time but soon learned that our direct flight to Barcelona was being cancelled and we would be flying to Malaga!  A hop skip and a jump to the African continent.  Some serious diversion to say the least.  Once in Malaga there would be a 3 hour layover and we would arrive to Barcelona five hours  later than anticipated!
Sure enough, as predicted, arrived to Barcelona almost at midnight and originally considered spending the night at the airport since we would have to be back in a few hours. After settling on a seat and spending about 20 minutes sitting in one position we quickly realized that even a few hours of rest on a bed would be enough to replenish us and prepare us for our 11 hour flight in a few hours  in the morning.
So off we went to keep our previous reservation for our last night in Europe. 
Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, Our minutes of sleep are numbered....
Good night to all, 
See ya all soon, home sweet home here we come.
