Not a great start

Just arrived in Rome. Has been a hell 36 hours.

On flight over was next to a young italian woman which would normally be nice, but she was seatmate from hell. Think very very demanding (always going to bathroom just after meals are served) including asking that turn off *my* reading light so she could sleep. I was too polite to refuse, but I am chronically unable to sleep on planes and also that there was basically no inflight , so I spent over eight hours lying in my seat unable to read or sleep or do anything. Not at all fun.

Rome is cold, over-cast and wet. Hopefully will clear up later. The hotel room is the smallest one I have ever seen in my life. And not a single TV channel is in . I would die of boredom if it were not for having lots of work to get through on my laptop.
