Leaving Rome Fiumicino Airport

A fairly early flight back to Leeds/ Bradford this morning and one of the most `exciting’ landings I think I’ve ever experienced.  We had a warning from the captain, as we flew over East Midlands, that if the first approach wasn’t right they’d take off again and then attempt a second landing.  Apparently there was a knife-edge decision about whether we’d land at all or if we would have to flying over to Manchester.  Leeds/ Bradford is the highest airport in the UK and often suffers from challenging weather.

I have to say it’s lovely to be back in the green countryside of home (not that Italy wasn’t green, just a different kind of green).
