The last day with first group in Ostia city Oct 28, 2018 is the last day with Group one. The bus took us to the village of Bomarzo, home to a Renaissance-era garden also known as "Parco dei Mostri", or Park of the Monsters. Begun in 1552, the garden features a series of bizarre and fascinating stone sculptures meant to shock, including a giant screaming face. We enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant. It was a raining day, sometimes, even raining hard when we were in bus. But when we arrived at the lunch restaurant, it stopped raining. When we were eating lunch, it raining a little bit. Photo 1: Last lunch with Group one (15 persons and one trip leader) Photo 2: Last lunch with Group 1. The bus continued to take us to Ostia city, a beach area. During the driving, it rained "cats and dogs" on the way to Ostia. We checked-in a hotel in Ostia beach. The wind blow very hard but rain stopped. I went to an ATM machine to get EURO , prepare for tip money to trip leader. Photo 3: Farewell dinner with the trip leader #1. He is an Italian, a gay (his boyfriend is a Canadian), an atheist. This trip is his 4th time, so he is an immature trip leader. His English is the worst among 3 trip leaders. This farewell dinner is the first seafood I've had since Oct 15. Full of "mussel" on the plate. I felt almost no meat in the first group trip. Every meal, served bread with olive oil, then come with salad with vinegar, then pasta with tomato sauce. I desire to have meat, but seldom had meat.    Honesty is the best policy. |

We gave the trip leader #1 tip money in an envelope after the "Farewell Dinner" and said Goodbye to him with a hug. From Oct 15 to Oct 28, 2018. On Oct 29, 2018 morning, the bus took us to Rome. It was raining very hard during driving to Rome, Italy. Those group #1 went to Rome International airport and fly back to USA. I have been taken to a hotel in Rome waiting 2nd group to come. Honesty is the best policy.
