So, what about that pubcrawl then? Well it went down something like this. We'd been sitting around at the hostel for what little of the afternoon remained, comparing stories with Nina, Zoe and Julie. We nipped out for dinner and then got to the meeting point for Rome(ing) Tours. Sam the tour guide took us on an entertaining trip around the area, including the Trevi fountain which was very cool and the Spanish Steps. Then came the bars. The were very crowded just from the tour members, and all had a good friendly atmosphere going on. I took a few photos but they won't get uploaded until I get back to England. We met many cool people, including a lovely welsh girl who translated Bronwyn's name for the rest of us, and Karen from Cork. But things went rapidly down hill in the last bar when Nina discovered her wallet was missing. This sucked big time, especially considering it was her birthday :-(

   The following morning Bronwyn, Nina, Julie and I headed back to the Trevi fountain and then on through the Roman Forum and Colosseum. I've been here before with Stacey an Brie about 5 weeks ago, so I did a little tour guide thing just like Stacey did back then. The girls then left to see the Vatican while I went wandering to the park around Villa Borghese. If you ever have the good fortune to come to Rome I highly recommend this park as a way to escape the madness and heat of the city below. I took photos I relaxed and then headed back to find the ladies.
