Woke up wuth the flu today. Felt like someone was standing on my chest. Slept in for a few hours then tackled the Metro which was a breeze. A station across the road that took me straight to the coloseum. Big queues but only an hour wait this time. Another beautiful day but a bit cool. Overawed at the size and magnitude of the place. And YES, you guessed it, celebration week so it was free entry to all monuments again. Man you've gotta love that. got a bit sunburnt yesterday so purchased a tourist hat for the last week of my travels. Thinks it's gonna rain all week.........you wouldn't believe it would you!!!
There is a celebration to Nero going at the moment so there was a big display in the Coloseum and another at some other flash church in the ruins. Speaking of the ruins, had a good wonder through acres of them including a look at the senator's forum. Was back at the hotel by 4.00pm after buying some drugs and plan to get a quick bite and stay in and beat this bloody flu thing. Anyway on a train to Assissi in the morning. Everytime I say that name i think of Paul and Bede - a sissy. Make me giggle every time. Good to hear Georgina is home safe although late. Blog soon with some more snaps. Love to all. Lucas
