The next morning we got up early and left the hotel by 8.30am. Took a taxi to the Metro and were at Termini by 10 past 9. At last, a few moments to peruse some shops. Being a lover of Yves Rocher products, I couldn't help treating myself to a gift box of bath scrubber and Chevrefeuille bubble bath - forgetting the restrictions at the airport and innocently carrying it through the checking in point. Hope someone made use of it! We had been instructed to be at the station to catch the connecting bus at 10.15am, so at 10.00am we made our way outside just in time to see our bus pull away full. I took this very badly and began to panic with lots of 'what if' thoughts about not catching the plane. Fortunately someone was 'looking after' us and when the next bus rolled up 5 minutes later, they took pity on us small group of travellers and let the bus go with no more than half a dozen occupants. Collecting a few 'unchoice' items at the duty free shop we were soon winging our way back home, our brief, but oh so memorable birthday treat over for another year...
