Rome

So we're in Rome. I hated Rome last tour above all else, but this time
around it isn't bothering me as much. We got in around 2ish in the
arvo, and got started on a walking tour. Saw the pantheon and the
fountain thingy and another big structure thingy then the coloseum
towards sunset. It was actually busier than I was expecting, but that
seems to be because of some kind of festival...

So now we're having dinner across the road from the coloseum, and I
just stepped outside to take this photo. There is wireless Internet
here but they don't give out the password. Our room tonight is the
lowest standard on the trip so far which says a lot because it's still
pretty acceptable. Kim just told me the water tastes funny, to which I
resisted the urge to say "of course dear, it's Italian water!".

With all the walking around we did today to get to see as many sights
as possible, I got pretty sticky in the humidity. It's not really hot
it's just very still and wet.

Yesterday was florence. The day was quite nice seeing some sights and
had a greAt lunch on a 5th floor outdoor cafe. The quality of the
pasta was excellent and not too steep on price either. Then Dinner at
some place o went to last time thAt had continuous wine (12% alcohol
no less) and some o the portions were nice with others being very
average, then an hours driving around the streets with a busfull of
drunk people shouting and singing, and unfortunately by the time we
got to the nightclub I was sober and no longer in the mood. However,
it turned out okay because it sounds like it was all more trouble than
it was worth which my initial impression. Oh well, saved ourselves
money on taxi and drinks and got to get a good sleep in the end

So we have been sitting here for 30 minutes with no service which tops
off a day of lots of bitching and whining. Very loud table beside us
who unfortunately are the footy loving yobos. So it's 7:30pm in Rome
and I just want to eAt and go back the hotel to get some sleep.

Tomorrow we have the Vatican for a few hours, then maybe the fountain
again, then the bone monument (something about capicino's?) and then I
dunno... Hopefully an early dinner and bed?

Kim's going to grab me a capacino. I'm expecting it will be expensive
and served in a tiny cup
