Alex, Charlie and Samantha's impression of Rome

Alex: Colosseum was my number 1 as I like intact Roman ruins. The gardens and fountains at Villa D'Este were cool.

Charlie: The best gelati was at the Spanish steps. I liked dipping my head into the fountains best. The pool, at the campsite was fantastic.

Samantha: I just like gelati and pizza, ANY gelati, preferably someone-else's.

Harley's in Rome

It's the 110th anniversary of Harley Davidson motorbikes and to commemorate such an occasion there was a huge rally in Rome with an estimated 100,000 bikes attending. We came across some of them being blessed at a special ceremony in St Peter's square. Bikers had riden in from all over Europe and were sporting all the HD garb on their gleaming machines. It was quite a spectacle and contrasted well with St Peter's!
