well am back n wow!!! Just seeing the coluseum, the forums, Pompeii and all the rest, seeing places where history was made and acted out, where civilisations begun n ended ... wow!
Worked out real cheap for us, me n the wife went, got a flight out for £6 and back for £50 (about $12 and $120 US - ish). Hotel got a cheap deal on it as well but it was the dogs dangly bits. Ate out each day, meal for two with steins of beer and bottles of wine for about 20 euros (£12 ish or $30 ish US), so cost wise we got a real bargain but I want to go back over there agin - so much to see there.
People were great there, real nice n helpful - real nice people. Well worth it if ya get the chance!!
