Our final target, Rome. Today May 25th we however spent a few hours watching the Funeral service of former and appreciated president of Finland, Mauno Koivisto via internet.
Rome is full of beauty, but the most touristic sites were full of people, too. There were also many soldiers with dogs and heavy machine guns in railway- and underground stations and in front state offices. Don’t know if it was just due to G7 meeting or was it because of terrorist attacks in major cities. However I enjoyed a lot walking along the river banks, visiting Capitolium, narrow alleys and street cafes. The journey has been full of experiences. During nearly three weeks we travelled from Helsinki via Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and finally stopped for a week in Italy. Tomorrow’s flight to Helsinki is already looked forward. Good to get back home. Rome will be revisited, but hopefully during more peaceful time.
