The Pope Says Hi!!
« on: May 03, 2005, 06:32:42 pm »
Back from Rome, and I just had to drop a line on here to let everyone know what a fantastic city it is.

If anyones looking for a weekend away (better make it a long weekend) then I would highly recommend it!!  Spectacular buildings, monuments, ruins and statues everywhere you look!

We've been a couple of times and agree the place is fascinating.  We spent hours in the Forum / Coliseum alone.

...but NEVER drive in Rome!

Steve, you're always on the forum!

But JPC's right, Rome is a great place. I'm surpprised he didn't mention the food though. I have never had a bad meal in Rome. It pisses all over French food if you ask me. (spoken like a true epicurian!)

I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

True, however, I am let out on some occasions for good behaviour.

I took the black beasty out for a 300 mile pre-LM shake down run over the weekend and came home with smiles (and dead flies) on my face.

(Yes, I know this has got nothing to do with Rome!!)

That's all very well, but what about the Vino you were supposed to be looking for?  ;)

To true. What an excellent place. Try standing in the middle off the Collessium with out thinking, 'My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius etc etc.
The Sistine Chapel also hosts (ahem) probably 2 of the most impressive acts of individual creativity in the history of the visual arts.

And as Andy says. Top Nosh.
