I have plenty of time for this post as we are awaiting our connecting flight to Florence.
The Singapore Airlines flights to Singapore then Rome we uneventful.
Once we got Rome things changed.
The queue to go through passport control took over an hour and we begged to jump the queue once our connecting flight drew near.
There was no need to panic as we didn't have any flight to get on.
We had been bumped to standby.
After half an hour at the standby desk we were back on the original flight.
We raced to the terminal as we were now late.
No need to worry as our flight was delayed 45 minutes.
Then another hour.
Then no one knew when.
Then the gate changed and everyone had to race as we were again late.
Then , at the new gate, nothing happened, for an hour.
Then we got on but had to wait for our luggage to join us.
The flight was uneventful but the taxi from the airport was a white knuckle ride. I think the driver was playing chicken with everone - buses and other taxis of course, but also little old ladies, cyclists, police cars and buildings. He won thank god, and so we lived and tomorrow will explore Florence.
