Rome... Not what we expected at all... we knew there would be a lot of tourists there but the place was actually infested. When we were in Barcelona it was busy but you could go down side streets and get some peace - not here! We couldn't wait to leave by the end of the second day, you are so crammed in the public transport and I don't mean standing close together, I mean complete strangers pushed so hard up against you you actually cannot move so it was a bit uncomfortable - we were glad that we were staying at a cool camping village away from the city! We waited for transport, waited to get into the tourist attractions and waited at the supermarkets and I don't mean that Im complaining about a few 10 minute lines here and there, it was like 1 hour waits for everything. Not to sound negative, were glad we went and saw this incredible piece of history but we would never go back! You have to go to Rome and see the Colosseum of course, standing in there was incredible especially cause your aware of what went on in there hundreds of years ago, you just stand there for a bit buzzing out at the thought of it all really. They had beautiful art work in the city centre as well, I'm defiantly going to buy a painting from Italy when we are back in July!
