Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
When you visit Rome, you also should visit the smallest country in the world – Vatican City. It is a country and a city at the same time. It is surrounded by Rome and it is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. There is no passport control around the border as you can enter or exit freely. Although there was not much greenery around, it was very clean and tidy.
On day two, we walked from our hotel to the ticket booths at the Roman Forum just after 10.30am. It was straightforward to locate and there were hardly any queues at all. We showed them our daughter’s disability card at the ticket booth and they offered us a disabled ticket and carer tickets for free. EU children under 18 can get free entry. Hence we only paid 18 euros for one adult.
Last week, we took an early flight via Birmingham Airport and departed for Rome. The airport staff are always great with people with disabilities or travelling with young families. We were grateful that we were fast-tracked through most of the queues and went straight to security. At the gate, I do hate it when we have to take the shuttle bus to board the plane. It always takes so long to get everyone onboard and getting a visually impaired child up those metal stairs in bright light with loud engines running is not easy.
