Roma

We had a good time in Roma. We got into the rhythm of the tourist walk, meandering through the headline sites of the Vatican, Forum, Colosseum & Palantine. We did head off piste and toured the back streets as much as we could. It was tough work in the unseasonally hot April weather at times - the perfect excuse for gelato, granita and beer. We found our favourite eateries quickly (big plug to La Famigla near Termini) but my lazy NZ accent got caught out when I ordered “One piece of bruscheta” and that came out as “One pizza prosciutto”(but it was good so we mowed it).
