Today was our last day in Rome so we have made the most of it, and sat in an Irish pub for 2 hours watching the football match! To be honest it wasn't that bad because we got out of the sun at the hottest part of the day, which was about 37 degrees! On the way to the pub we popped into our favourite bakery (we're regulars there now!) and got a nice little sandwich for lunch- the cheap way to do Rome! After sitting in the pub for two hours I left with a happy Sh...

Well you'll be pleased to know after our nightmare with the laundry last night, it was all dry this morning! Its hardly surprising when its still around 25oC at midnight! Today has been ridiculously hot! We started off by posting some postcards from the Vitican. (one is on the way if you were one of the lucky few that I sent one to!) We popped into the gelatto bar where we can steal free wifi and the guy was like "come in! come in! your white English skin will b...

We started today rather late after I had to drag shaun out of bed! We decided to go to the Colosseum so we hopped on the metro and made our way there.

There was loads of artwork and sculptures (Italians obviously really like this sort of thing!) and we eventually reached the cistine chapel. To be honest I wasn't that overwhelmed! It was a small room with hundreds of people crammed insi...

Shauns blog: "Today we went Rome and saw a fountain and an Irish pub" Well we did a little bit more than that actually! We went to sleep quite late and woke up quite late too and missed breakfast. George (the guy who runs the b&b, I think thats his name!) spotted us on our way out and asked if we wanted some breakfast and told us to follow him (bearing in mind his English is worse than my swalhili!) So we followed him out of the building, down the street, r...
