Relaxing at the Mykonos Resort

Ok guys, Mykonos is great here...and I just thought I'd do a quick entry for Roma!

Rome is an awesome place it's very caught up in the historial aspect, not that this is a problem. We got to see the first day most of the sites including the spanish steps, some thing called the wedding cake. We actually caught a train in as the buses really can't get around here. The first thing mentioned was the pickpocketers and geez are they really bad here. We caught heaps of people trying to get other people's wallets and we were lucky enough to all come out safe!\

Second day, we caught another 3 trains in to the Collosseum (spelt right?). It's the most impressive thing to come out of a station to see the this massive building. It's very awe inspiring!

The first thing here we did though was have a tour from an Italian tour guide around the Imperial Ruins. This is where Julius Caesar is buried. There are many ruins here and you don't realise how huge the buildings were until you see it for yourself.

After this a couple of us headed off to the Collosseum to have a look inside. The queues were massive, however we snuck our way through (much to the dismay of some others in our tour) to the front and got in straight away. I don't think the inside is as impressive as the outside. It was still great however and it was well worth going inside.

There was more I would have loved to do here, however we took someone back from our tour who had alcohol poisoning and left them for pickup at the station whilst three of us walked to the campsite.

So next on the stop was Pompeii. This is a town that is owned by the mafia. However it's time for me to head off...
