When in Rome......
... all day yesterday but excitedly rolled out of bed for another day in Rome. On the way into town we stopped off at a street seller for 2 cappuccinos and 2 brioches for a measly 4.50...I like Europe J after breakfast we headed for circus maximus (remember Ben Hur?) there was not really that much there but you could definitely see where the original track would have been and the city of Rome were undertaking works to make it a bit more touristy so there was building ...
