Euro Tour Day 7

Wow. One week gone already. Time has whizzed by and we've already seen loads.

Today was spent in Rome. The T5 had the day off and we took Shanks' van into the city. Well the train, metro and lots and lots of walking anyway.

We arrived in Flaminio not far from the rugby stadium and set out on foot for the Colosseo. Along the way we took in the Spanish steps, the Trevi fountain, the Pantheon, the Complesso del Vittoriano, MacDonalds, the Palatine and the Forum. The Coluseum was the highlight of the day without a doubt. "Impressive. Most impressive", as a certain Mr. D. Vader was heard to say. Was slightly disappointed not to see Russell Crow but he must have been busy in makeup or something.

We're now foot sore and weary but back at camp and fed. Watering is the next order of the day - only because we have to go into the bar to get on the Net to book tickets for the Vatican of course...
