Five days in Rome 2005

After cycling from Venice to Rome with Steve, John and Jake, I met up with Vix, as well as Xiaoyun and Leon, Clare and Kirsty for a bit of a knees up in Rome. It was Vix's birthday during our trip too!

Main highlights were the Devil Kisses at our favourite nightspot, spotting the Colosseum, the serendipity of stumbling across Hadrian's Mole, finding the Trevi fountain and just simply hanging out at bustling cafes and restaurants.
