Rome

This is a crazy city. I saw and was told the most outrageous stories. You would think you were in Africa with the amount of begging, thievery and pressing crowds. Again over touristed, expensive, rushed and rude.

I only had one full day in Rome so rushed from sight to sight. I was supposed to do an ancient Rome guided walk but I lost my ticket (note it was not stolen or pick-pocketed... my bad). I was so pissed it took me a while to cool down.


When at the Trevi Fountain I was sitting next to an Aussie couple chatting about the current state of each of our nations rugby teams (I have no idea what state the Springboks are in, I just watch the game, so a lot of blagging) when a huge group of tourists stood up. Luckily I had my camera out and got a 1 in a 1'000'000 shot... no tourists in sight (except the half face of the girl in the corner).


Other sights: Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Vatican City, Sistine Chapel and a whole lot more I can't remember the names of. Unfortunately my camera died when I got the the Vatican so have no pics of it.
