Our trip begins by bus from Northampton to Rome. We go to the Lutton airport to go to Rome. The bus depot is simple but quite efficient.
The bus was quite comfortable.

| Lights of Rome from the Plane |
We boarded the plane and got to Rome around 9:30 pm. Looking outside the plane, I see Rome at night. I jokingly told my son to imagine how St Paul felt when he first saw the lights at night. Of course, it was totally different when St Paul arrived.
In any case, we got through the border and got a taxi. I realize immediately how disadvantaged I am since I cannot speak Italian. Yes, it is good to know several languages, unfortunately, I did not learn Italian.
We found a taxi without problems, but as we exited the airport, there was a 4 car pile up on the highway. We had to back up and take another route. We arrived at the place where we booked Don Giovanni Calabria. It turns out this is an accomodation operated by the order founded by St Giovanni Calabria. They take care of disabled persons and perhaps the income they get is used for their ministry.

| Chapel in the accommodations |
The facilities are clean, not luxurious but for the cost, it is worth it. They have a chapel on the ground floor where mass and morning prayers are celebrated every day which is convenient for those who seek spiritual nourishment in their pilgrimage.
Breakfast is provided which is a welcome bonus. It is also a few minutes from the Metro terminal so it is extremely convenient.
On to Vatican City
