Roma Roma Roma

First impressions of Rome.....hmm.... it's a little bit dodgy....

Fortunately our hotel is close to the station, unfortunately, Rome is full of cobblestone roads and streets so dragging a heavy suitcase on that is not fun at all - especially late at night when you're really tired.

Our hotel is ok... but our hotels are getting dodgier and worse as time goes on... this is what happens when you spend too much money and can't afford a nice place. The first hotel in Lyon is now seeming more and more swish.... we have to share a bathroom and I really struggled to cope with that... but I'll survive it for 2 days. I should know by now how much of a princess I really can be :p

Our room is small, but the bathroom is HUGE - go figure. I'd show you a pic but that would be strange :)

we managed to walk around Rome in 1 day and saw many of the sights by foot. Gees, for so many different touristy things to see, Rome is quite a small place. I think 3 days in Rome may be too much. Everything can be reached on foot and can all be done in less than 1 day! We were really struggling to find things to do.... as Lu's friend puts it, "Rome is nice, you can walk everywhere and see lots of broken things"

A truer word could not be said... a lot of broken things, a pile of broken rubble - that's pretty much Rome. I must admit, I'm a little let down by Rome (sorry Rosanna), it hasn't impressed me as much as I had hoped it would. I can't wait to get to Barcelona.
