Swiss precision in the air

 After a couple of hours spent in the Zurich lounge, just wanting a shower and some decent rest, we boarded our last flight to Rome.
 The flight was operated by Swiss Air, just over an hour in length, and included a full meal and beverage service - that's Swiss percision!
The meal consisted of a roast beef and green bean salad marinated with a citrus vinegarette, warm bread, delicious cheeses and a apricot whipped mousse thingy.
Once on the ground we had a 50 minute wait for our luggage and a 15 minute wait for our roller coaster errr....cab ride.  Has anyone seen a car chase scene in ANY movie based in Rome (Da Vinici Code)?  These scenes are not special effects or staged, this is how traffic flows in Rome.  It is a fast paced, hand optional, traffic light suggestion ride through narrow streets.
We have settled into our luxury accommodations that overlook The Vatican and are preparing for a relaxing evening.
