We had a couple of days in Rome before the tour began which was good as it gave us a chance to do a bit of exploring and to get lost.... on several occassions. We found the maps a bit hard to read, maybe that was because of the minute print it was in or we just couldn't understand the words. Anyway it was all good fun and by the time the tour began we had a better understanding of this ancient city.
At least you survived the gypsies, the crowds, and the scooters! Did the Pope single you out for afternoon tea? It seems strange if he didn't.

ReplyDeleteThe Pope was in Portugal when we were there, just our bad luck that we missed out on tea.
