All roads lead to rome

All roads lead to rome, but boy are they long! I have currently been over 24 hours in transit since i left my home in acworth and i finally got here to the hostel in rome. One notable thing during my two layover flight was that on my way to london airport we had to touch down at shannon, ireland because a man on the plane needed to get to a hospital. i dont know what happened but there was a doctor on the plane who looked a little like crocodile dundee who saved the day until we could land. that took more time, but it didn't affect me too much since i had a 5 hour layover in london. it was beautiful coming through the clouds and seeing the early spring landscape with the white little houses of ireland.
I made it to rome from the airport on train, and if youve ever been here i dont have to explain the details. Otherwise youll have to come here yourself because im too jetlagged and exhausted from carrying my pack and sleeping in twisted postures. when i got to my properly booked hostel no one opened the door i tried to call and the man couldnt hear me from the public phone. i got pizza and asked the two very helpful people working there to help me out. the called the hostel and apparently, there was a problem with the room or something else and i was relocated to another hostel in the area. i stilll dont know what was wrong, but i hopped back on the bus back to the train station (fell over with all my bags on this lady when the bus started moving) and walked the remaining blocks with my heavy pack as the city got dark and scary to this dingy hostel i am currently in. the people are friendly though and that is the best i could wish for.
tomorrow i will see as much of rome as i can!
ciao!
