Instagram photos from our trip to Tokyo

We have been to Japan on a marathon trip. Armando won a place in the Tokyo marathon through the lottery, so we booked a trip for the whole family. We left on the 17th of February and arrived there the next day in the evening. Our trip home started on the 22nd in the evening and after a stop in Dubai we finally arrived to Rome on the 23rd. The flights took a long time, but were very comfortable with Emirates Airlines.
Here's a first glimpse of our trip with my instagram photos.

We stopped in Dubai and had a meal at Burger King at the airport

A day at the hot springs

After a very rainy week it was wonderful to get out to have a bath in the hot springs near Viterbo! I went with the girls and my good friend who is, like me, always ready to have a relaxing get-away, when possible. The hot springs are called Terme di Bagnaccio and they are out in the countryside. You pay a little entrance fee because there is an association who keeps them clean and there are toilets, changing rooms and a coin operated coffee machine. There are 6 pools of different temperatures. The air was very cool, especially when the sun started to go down, so we wouldn't have wanted to come out from the pools at all. Afterwards we had our picknick lunch and a warm coffee before driving back home.
