Soo Roma, I can not get enough. I love it, I just do. The Italians just have this great way of living and Roma is like an open air museum. Walking around and just getting lost in those small beautiful side streets I could stay there for months and not get tired of the place.
We left on an seriously earlie flight on Wednesday 07/02/07 and came to a sunny warm Roma about 10 in the morning. It took some time to find the hotel, but it was worth it in the end. for 3 and a half days we just walked around taking in the gorgeous sights,unfortunately it rained for two whole days, but at least there was no ques for the Colosseum and all the other attractions....I think Jack liked it to, at least he was nice and snug in his little pram with rain covers on. We went to the Vatican on the Thursday and Jack managed to knock over a pole that actually chipped the floor in the Vatican, I was completely mortified and I was convinced we would get arrested or at least fines. But luckily the Italians love the little "bambinos" and ignored the unpleasant experience (Or they just did not notice, the big chunk missing of the 100 of years old marble floor.......) Oh well not everybody can brag that the chipped the Vatican floor. We went to all the usual sites like the Spanish steps, the different fountains, Colosseum and the rest. I think we could have spent weeks,or at least I could have. Jack and Gareth managed to get hold of matching Rome Football shirts (how Sad......If you ask me......) So, happy days for the boys. Other than that we just enjoyed the Italian life of pasta,pizza,Italian ice cream and little Espressos in the morning,afternoon and evenings.......I just love Italy.
