Fawlty Towers Rome

... map from the hostel yet so I didn't really know where I was going. I
got back and had a shower and got changed. I also went on the Internet
and checked emails and updated my blog.

It was now time for dinner. Just across the street was a nice little
Italian restaurant and I was craving pasta. I decided to have a pasta
dish with thicker spagetti noodles and a tomato based sause with
bacon. I ...

... rains or snows it comes in.. the floor pans out to the sides to collect the water. I got a real sense of history in this building could image the romans milling about etc talking..

After lunch in a restaurant where they spoke no English.. we went to the Vatican, had to cover up my knees and shoulders.. which was very hot!! A lot of security as well.. nearly left my hat behind! Actually teh Vatican is the smallest country in the world, have ...

... four bathrooms,n a lounge, a small courtyard, and a 4 table restaurant. If it were not for one minor misunderstanding on my part, I would have rated our stay a 5 or 6 stars (on a scale or 1-5). My wife rated it a full 6 stars. I "misinterpreted" the The Beehive's web ad: It stated that they had wireless and (in the lobby) wired Internet service, which is literally correct.

We sat on a bench in awe of the craftsmen responsible for the architecture and art that exists in this city.

Being the tightarses that we are we took the cheapest possible option which turned out to be a long 6 hour train with extremely dodgy air-conditioning! Well, on the doors it said there was air-conditioning but it was quite possibly just an open window somewhere at the end of the carriage! We spent half the time playing cards with a funny British guy in our ...

... Colisseum. Just though you ought to know. I also walked through the Palatine and the Forum. It was very cool, especially after I bought one those books with the before and after overlays. I was having a really hard time imagining how everything looked. Mainly because I was thinking too small. I was standing in a field with an huge octagonal foundation in the middle of it and trying to figure out what the book was describing. It was the ...

... have made a wrong turn, and half the streets we had traversed were one-way, so we couldn't retrace our steps. Only one thing for us to do. Relocate the entrance to the Hospital. Done. Gavin still hasn't "lost it", (well maybe only a little). Off we start again. Turn right, turn left, turn left, cross the bridge and turn left, turn right, up to the end of the street. Stop. Logic says it must now be right and not left as per the instructions. It is ...
