Pizzas and Piazzas

I think in a nutshell the title does actually sum up my time in Rome very well. I have had pizza near enough everyday and have spent a fair bit of time relaxing in Rome's numerous piazzas. In between all of that I have seen pretty much everything I wanted to see here. I would still say the colosseum is my favourite although the Trevi Fountain, lit up at night was also pretty special. The weather turned hot yesterday, it has been pushing 30 degrees again today and looking ahead it is set to continue throughout Italy for at least the next couple of weeks :-) I feel I've spent pretty much the perfect amount of time in Rome, it's given me time to find my feet and not have to rush round the sights which has been good and the perfect start to the trip. This evening may be spent with a return trip to the Colosseum to see it at night, though to be honest I'm fairly knackered after 4 days of non stop walking around a big city, the last 2 of which in a 30 degree heat. I guess everyone from the hostel will know I wasn't exactly known for my productivity on days off work so they'll know how much of a life style change this is! So tomorrow is Naples, home of the best pizza in the world apparently so it would be rude not to try some! I'm also intending to sort out a day trip to Pompei, met an Aussie girl here who says it's very worthwhile. Lots of pictures to come though I'll need to locate an internet cafe first. Chris
