Rome

Expense.

Romans take the piss when it comes to taking advantage of tourists. I thought England was expensive! For 20euros you can get the cheapest wine in a cheap restaurant and enjoy its vinegary flavour. Spoke to some nice Italian bloke though who told us they have a 20% tax on alcohol over there so no wonder. Food was dear too though.

Other than that, Rome was lovely. You can see why tourists flock there. It's beautiful. Everything is old and huge. The 'wow' factor I felt though dissipated somewhat for the fact that EVERYTHING was that big and spectacular, it lost its uniqueness and became samey and we ended up speeding round Rome, only occasionally stopping for a special jaw-drop. I'd say you would have to go there before you die though, because it is so old n cool, you cant help but be flabbergasted (awesome word) by it.

p.s. we spoke to an English/American couple who worked for Adobe one night, got some inside scoop, sworn to secrecy like though.
