Weather
UK weather didn’t matter as I didn’t need to go out
anywhere. It was sunny and very warm at Rome airport (FCO) it was warm and
humid in Pescara.
So, I set out with lack of sleep and a touch of a hangover.
I got a bus to Terminal 5 at about 04:30. Bag drop was open when I got there.
The check in etc. was fairly smooth. I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t need to eat
anything. I drank some liquid (Coke Zero and Water). I checked the Clik Bus app
for bus times. There was a bus at 11:20 which I caught. There was no wi-fi on
the bus so maybe Pronto Bus would have been better. However, I did sleep for a
fair amount of the ride, so it wasn’t too bad. We arrived at Pescara at 15:10.
That gave me enough time to get to the ticket office and buy a carnet of 11
tickets. I also found the number 2 bus stop, which was nice. I had to validate
my paper ticket. The bus stop for the Sea Lion Hotel was close to the last stop
on route 2. I checked in at my hotel, I changed into shorts became it was warm
and humid. I went to the kiosk next to the hotel pool and had a pizza slice, a
cafe latte and a Coke Zero. I then walked to the local shopping centre and had
two slices of pizza, a Coke Zero and a bottle of water. I finally ate the
Kellogg’s nutrigrain bar which seems to be standard “breakfast” on BA flights.
I have a great sea view from my balcony and good wi fi, but
my air conditioning doesn’t seem to work.
