Rome sweet Rome! Hehe, when it comes to Rome cheesy quotes are the order of the day (Rome wasn't built in a day you know..).
First impressions of Rome were not good, crazy station, dodgy characters, mad roads, massive and busy and seemed like more hassle than it was worth. How wrong we were!
It grew on us from day to day. It was the hottest yet, mid 30's most days which did make it harder work but so much good stuff to see.
Did The Colliseum, the Forum (best bit IMHO!), St Pauls inc the Sistine Chapel. We thought the Sistine Chapel was a right rip off at €15 but you get to see loads more as you're herded through rooms with painted cielings and walls, and Eyptian museum complete with mummy then finally into the Chapel.
Also checked out the Trevy fountain and went to some ruins where Julius Caesar was done in, which now has a cat sanctuary in it (Lyndas favourite part I reckon!).
We thought a week would be too long but defo could have stayed longer.
Excuse the glut of blogs but I write then randomly then have to save them up for when we find internet!
