At the moment I am full of travels like a content nurseling, but it is almost too much - I yearn for a bit of "home" instead of Rome - and will get it, just now. Beautiful hot weather, ample space, tranquiliity (though the tourists are only two and a half street away). Have you booked already?

But, the worst part of the trip was the overnight train from Rome to Nice. Unbearable and did not sleep a wink. It stopped at every fork in the road and jerked me around all night so badly, I was nauseous. If we did it again, I'd fly and have more time in Rome. And, hold on to your wallet because they were lying everywhere around the Rome train station.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-36402028437217120712015-07-18T06:57:36.099-07:002015-07-18T06:57:36.099-07:00Not sure about someone being shot the but, the Tre...Not sure about someone being shot the but, the Trevi fountain is being renovated at the moment, so it's covered in scaffolding. I've just seen it on Livecam https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/italia/lazio/roma/fontana-di-trevi.html !! I wasn't overly impressed when I saw it …… it's much smaller than I thought and tucked away in a little side road !
