8/8/02 Rome, Italy (Phill)
After I arrived at my hostel I met two of my roommates: Anook and Fica: I apoligize for the spelling: Anyway, these are two crazy, brilliant Dutch girls. They're both taller than me and I dont fancy my chances in a fight, but they both are ex-rowers so you have to love that! I chatted with them for a while in the dorm room and eventually headed out to dinner with them. I had a brilliant time, we all just clicked instantly: Drunk some wine, had a nice classy Italian dinner near the Spanish Steps and laughed the night away.
I woke up late this morning and finally got underway seeing Rome. I walked via the Coleseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and a selection of other wonderful buildings. I cant believe how many tourists there are though, its insane! I really like Rome so far, its not cheap but its worth it! Anyway, I'm waiting for the Church of the Immaculate Conception to reopen so I can see the bones of 4,000 dead Monks. Sounds great, huh? :)
