Roma
We have left Venice behind for the history and more of Rome!
We are staying in a little B&B about 5 minutes walk from the main train station here in Rome. The lady that runs the B&B is called Monica and she comes round 3 times a day... and makes the best percolated coffee I have ever had.
We arrived yesterday, then proceeded to spend 2 hours talking to Monica, and then an Australian couple from Sydney about their travelling experiences, stories and tips about Rome. We met up with Brooke and Tash last night too for Brooke's birthday. Had a huge serving of Italian pasta round the corner and topped it off with Gelati from the 'oldest icecream factory in Rome' - established in 1880! Was good gelati too!
Today we saw all the odd sights around Rome, including Trevi fountain, the river and all the squares, statues and churches along our way around. We estimated we walked 10-15km today. It was also terrible weather today. Raining all morning and most of the afternoon and reached 16 degrees at about 3pm (saw a temperature display on the way home) - no wonder we all got so hot walking around in our jackets.
Tomorrow we will take on Vatican city and then ancient Rome the following day (if we survive the crazy drivers around this town).
Ciao!
