Cab's

Well we have a number of tales of taxi's starting with the rip off in Rome on our first day. We arrived jet lagged from the flight at about 7am Rome time. Got into the customs queue, only to find out as we progressed closer to the front, that we were in the wrong queue and had to re queue (is that a word)!!

Standing around trying to work out where the taxi's were, when we were approached and offered a taxi, J tried to get a fixed price, but the taxi driver would not commit and had we been more awake we would have just said no. We got safely to our hotel, but we paid about three times too much for the trip we found out later.

Other than that we had great experiences with Taxi's.

The kids loved the dicky seats and we all loved the space. I only hit my head once on the door frame.






We used cabs in Edinburgh as well to avoid the parking issues.

We had three taxi's in Paris without any trouble.

Of course when we returned home we also cabbed it home without issue - got a bit of a diatribe about selling nuclear energy and what we should do with the waste and other ecological issues and the fact that Howard and Costello are still in a tussle for the "top" job! Good to see we did not miss much on that front.
