Yeah, the alleyways are nice, much nicer in the night devoid of people, but there are far better places to go to in Italy

Day 2

The train trip was nothing to write home about to Rome, but I thought I would tell you all this just so that you can share in my boredom !!! Upon arrival, we were found by the same man as last year at the station that had got us some accommodation, ...
