Contiki Craziness - Part 6

Day 6 - Venice to Rome, Italy

That morning we got up late and were hungry from the previous days adventure, we rushed downstairs for a nice meal. However breakfast was a piece of bread and some chocolate thing in plastic. Italian hotels don't really do breakfast all that well.

That morning Captn Barbossa N Sparrow were late to the bus and were relegated to the back again, however Captn Morgans n Cook made it to the centre as they were speedy goons. It was another long bus ride and there was alot of traffic coming into Rome. The driver Jordie even had to make an unscheduled stop as he was only allowed to be on the road for a limited duration.




At the stop we managed to eat Burger King in 45 minutes at a rush, so fast food in Italy ain't all that fast. The landscape changed again on the journey and there were mountain villages all the way into Rome it looked really pleasing to the eye, there were another few camera shots taken from the bus.

We arrived in Rome and were drove around the major sites for a look around, it was really amazing as we saw the ruins and coliseum, they look nothing like the movies, it was like another world. The bus did an illegal stop in the middle of the city and we popped out quick smart before the tourist police came and smacked the driver with a heavy fine.



The sun was coming down and we rushed around the major sites and threw afew coins away for goodluck at one the Trevi fountain. Captn Morgan was really impacted by this place, although everyone had some real wow moments. We found dinner in the centre of the city and had a huge meal. Captn Jack Sparrow decided to get some seafood for an entrée but it was as big as the pizza's we got for the mains so it wasn't all finished.

The guy at the restaurant was really entertaining and spoke to us in English and then spoke to a couple in a language we didn't understand, we enquired and he said "It 's Dutch and in Rome you're expected to speak everything f**n^%$g language, it's crazy" and laughed.



That night we had an early rest and awaited for the next big day to explore Rome.
