So left for my Eid holiday adventure at 2 in the morning with Dan and Brenda. Arrived in the Rome (or Roma as the Italians like to call it) sick, I'm pretty sure it was the sandwich from the Alitalia airline. We decided to take a shuttle (which is really a van) from the Fiumicino airport where I threw up the sandwich in the van...thank goodness it didn't happen in front of the colosseum or anything important. Although I definetly would have made my mark in Rome. Found a relatively cheap (does that word exisit in an European country?) hostel by the Termini (the main metro and train station) called the Pop In Hostel where we found out that we didn't leave for Morocco till Sunday instead of Saturday like we always thought. So instead of 1 day in Rome we had 2!
Found some great pills called Gaviscon which allows the consumer throw up everything in that person's stomach. So if you want to try it contact me I paid 5 Euros for 24 pills, and I have 23 left. Decided that because we had 2 days in Rome, I would spend the day indoors and close to a bathroom. I let Dan and Brenda fend for themselves in the cold and wet weather while I tried to stay warm and wished that I didn't eat the food and that I packed warmer clothes. It was a good thing I stayed inside because the weather was not the best, cold and wet. Coming from Egypt, none of us had packed enough warm clothes.
Fell asleep by 4:30
