Day 76 - Rome wasn't built in a day...
... about to faint from the heat, we escaped the crowds, downed a bottle of water each and made our way to the Pantheon – but it was closed! We decided to have a look around some shops, and Mark managed to find a sunglasses store that had his exact beloved Raybans in stock!
