Greetings from Rome from an internet cafe!! After a hurried departure from Firenze (we cocked ...oops, sorry Mr Theo, we inadvertantly had our time down to leave on the train for 10.30 instead of 9.10am), so anyway a great trip down on the train, 1st class, the only way to go.
Next bad decision was Michaelangelos. Lets walk, he said, its not that hot!!!!!! and its not that far!!!!!!. Another Tui ad. The apartment here is fantastic just no WiFi.
Metro round the corner, so quick easy trips in to see really old, fantastic stuff. Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantino, domes, spires, people, people with guns, two great days filled so far. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the big man at the vatican.
Just happened to be walking past a pub on our way home tonight and someone noticed the rugby on TV, naturally we had to have a beer and watch Italy beat USA. Strangely we were the only ones watching the game!!
No photos tonight - hopefully wifi next stop.
PS what the hell is going on over there? We see the Phoenix have changed hands, and what about those Warriors......GO the Warriors.
Janet and Mike are travelling to Europe for 8 weeks at the end of August. This is Janet's big OE, so she's very excited! Mike hopes he doesn't lose her in a crowd!
We hope you enjoy sharing some of our experiences with us while we are away, and hopefully some of the places we visit and things we do, will bring back some great memories for lots of you.
Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas and helped with our planning.
Please don't forget to keep in touch!
