For those of you paying close attention youll notice i posted the last post and this one at the same time, because i wrote the other one the other day but didnt have the internet to post it so insuggest reading the last post before reading any more of this one ;) also the photos since England are almost ready to post, just need a little longer!
Day 2 in Rome didnt disappoint either, although we got to the colosseum at 8:30 we still had to line up for a halfa but It was well worth the wait. It reached atleast 39 again and the lady running the b&b I was staying in told me that the middle 2 weeks of July are usually the hottest of the year. I don't doubt it at all.
The colosseum and Vatican city aren't the only good things in Rome, the whole city is full of beautiful structures and historic sights, most of which I can't name but I have photos of. After the colesseum we took A scenic route back to the train station and i headed home for an afternoon snack, a cold shower and a few hours rest while we waited for the temperature to cool down before we headed out for tea. We made our way to the restaurant area on the outskirts of the city centre and strolled around while waiters tried to hustle us to eat at their restaurant. Then we had what kelly declared and I agree was the best gelato/ice cream I've ever eaten.
Rome is the most beautiful city in what I've decided is my favorite country and despite slow cooking myself walking around it, I had a super good time in Rome. And would recommend anyone goof there stay at least 4 full days. Personally I don't think we stayed long enough, so I guess I'll have to go back someday!
P.S.
1. I apologize for the spelling and grammar mistakes that I am aware are very common on this blog. I usually type them on my phone and the touch screen tiny keyboard combined with the iPhones stupid auto-correct make it pretty hard to write properly. If I'm bored enough one day I might go back through and fix it :)
2. Kelly has been hassling me about something I forgot to put in my blog from way back in Amsterdam. When we landed we needed a taxi to our hotel so we got In a taxi and he took off down the freeway, at just over 160km's per hour. He didnt have a seatbelt on, was taking on the phone, was overtaking without indicating and was telling out about how you can smoke hash in hospitals, police stations and whereever you want. "F**k the police!" as he told us. It was one of the funniest and scariest moments of the trip!
hahha, totally relate to your speeding un-belted italian drivers. there were quite a few times i was ready to call to mum to say goodbye!
