We decided that it was about time to widen our horizons and took a trip that meant we actually needed passports. So off to Rome was went. After getting stopped at the airport because Josh had taken apart his roller blades (after he was told not to take them) and hid them in his luggage. We got to the very lovely apartment right in the centre of the city. We had a very cultural McDonalds for tea, we had an early night before visiting EVERY tourist attraction in the city.
So, colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi fountain, Basilica, (pause for pasta and Gelato) Vatican, Forum, Sistine Chapel, Spanish Steps, Catacombs, etc etc.
Alongside the whistle stop tour of Rome’s most beautiful places, we managed to lose Josh in a small lake side village, nearly missing the train home, lose Josh to a group of roller bladder’s through the less savoury parts of the city and get ripped off by Jez buying random tortoises from a street vendor.
In four short days we nailed Rome and all it has to offer, we must use our dusty passport more often!!!
