Markets, a pyramid and friends
The late night party on terrace, complete with the one-in-every-group drunk who has better and louder and longer stories than everyone else, meant we slept in and had a late start to Sunday. The loud Italian music and brass band (not sure if it was live somewhere close by, or a loud television in retaliation for the previous night) meant we didn't want to stay in the apartment too long!

BENVENUTI ROMA!!!!
... it was nice to look at. After we saw the Spanish steps but the steps weren’t that cool it was the stores on the way that were the most interesting…Jimmy Choo, Dior, Valentino, Prada and Gucci.
