Pantheon
I made it home. But it was still a big challenge. Days before my flight, my government decided that we needed a negative PCR test to be allowed on the plane. But Rome was in lockdown, so I didn't find any place where I could take a test.
I googled... and googled... and googled... and tried calling people. But it was a big disaster. Based on the info on the airport website, there was a testing location at the airport, so a few days before my flight I just went to the airport. To first get the answer to go back home and call a doctor for a prescription. And find a hospital to do it.
This was not in line with what was on the website and I paid a ton of money to just get to the airport. I wasn't leaving without a solution for my test. In the end, I walked a ton from an information desk to the first aid people and vv, but I did receive a prescription AND and appointment for a test the next day.
The next morning I was a pedestrian in a test drive-in (awkward). But I got my test! And I was lucky enough for it to be negative so I could get on my flight.
The first few days in Amsterdam I was in self-quarantaine. Something you still have to do despite a negative test. It was fine. I liked that prescribed me-time! And I needed it. Now that this is behind me, I slowly start regaining some energy, meeting with friends and getting back to normal day-to-day life.
And Rome? I still don't know. I may be back, I may not... I think for now it's better to first visit some other cities first!
