Roma part deux
... Our plan was to take the bus around to the Colosseum and get off there so we could eat at one of the restaurants in that area as we had good luck with the food there. We boarded for what turned out to be a crazy ride as these buses just fly down the side roads getting close enough to almost brush people, cars and mopeds lining the narrow streets. Connie and I sat on the top open deck while Grant and Frances sat below and the picture taking was non-stop as we made ...

A rather big day I'd say.
... and looking mighty fine I bet, hahahah. We tried to cross a massive round about7main road, and because there is a "do what you feel like" rule on the roads of Italy, it was hit and miss there for a moment. ut we manouvered between smartcars, scooters and motorbikes and passed a bus, when the driver yelled out the side "Airporto?", and I said "No" out of habit, and then thought about what he said and the fact we were going to need to a) buy a ticket ...
