Roma! We arrived into Rome at about 6pm on Wednesday, we're staying with Pascale and Alessio (a couple Malaika knows) in the centre of Rome in their apartment.

We went back to our hotel, for which we'd accidentally booked a 4 bed room for, but emailed and changed back in May. The owner refused to give us our two bed room, insisting we hadn't confirmed his email (for the third tim...
