'Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
... aangesproken, die vroeg of ik een tour wilde zodat ik daardoor niet in de rij hoefde te gaan staan. Vriendelijk bedankte ik en moest ik stiekem keihard lachen toen er helemaal geen rij stond, maar ik gelijk aan de beurt was bij de kassa. Zoals Juliana zei: “dat kan ook wel in het Guinness book of records”. Nadat ik op mijn gemakje het Colosseo had bekeken, ben ik naar het Forum en de Palatijn geweest. Ook hier was het rustig, ...
