Well OK only one - BritishAirways. Travelling on BA revealed two things - the chintzyish way the airline nickels and dimes the customers for legroom and the selfishness of certain passengers. The first issue leads to the second one. If you have limited space, because an airline wants to cram in a couple more seats in a 300 seat fuselage, it only takes a certain type of jerk to stick the back of a seat in your face - which leads to air-rage.
After two flights, two airports and a ton of walking we arrived at the Rome airport. Intending to walk to the train that connects the airport with the City Terminus we were waylaid by a tout pushing a shuttle. "The train cost fifteen euros each, I can deliver you to your hotel for thirty-five". One look at our tired faces and the thought of finding the hotel after finding the train and we capitulated. The good thing about the drive was that as the tout drove around looking for the other passengers' hotels we did get to see a lot of what we saw on the last trip to Rome.
Practising the walk to the station for tomorrow morning, we do not want to miss our train, we came across the usual inviting sidewalk cafe - we stopped for a couple of paninis and beverages, I can report that the Peroni beer still tastes as good a ever.
Tomorrow the trip to the Amalfi.
