But it was the highlight of Europe for us. I could easily spend extended periods of time there, you know, when our Christmas Day lottery numbers come up! ;-) Aroha (for #teamIBOT). p.s. your guess is as good as mine is the Trevi Fountain!

I have several thousand other holiday photos going back many decades where I have forgotten where they were taken. Maybe I should start a mystery photo page and harness the power of the internet to tell me what they all are - lol.<br />The toddler thing is hard. We started travelling with our boys when the first was 6 mths old. There were times when it was tough but mostly it was just great.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-82787907499579099512014-12-15T21:15:54.866+11:002014-12-15T21:15:54.866+11:00Wow!

We had a similar experience with getting into our accommodation, we turned up and the owner with the keys didn't. Several hours of frantic phone calls from the local deli on the corner using my little Italian, cuddling a very tired toddler on the sidewalk with all the luggage and finally he decides to turn up! The apartment was great, so worth the wait though maybe not the stress. By the way, it is the Trevi fountain - I hope you threw a coin in and wished to return to Rome.
