Rome day 2

Have just worked out we are staying in a specially designated gay area and boy can they party as the bar under us didn't close till 2am and boy was it loud. So this morning we were a but grumpy as we headed off to look inside the colleseum. I have learnt to stand next to the English guides on tour groups and I hear all I need to. It wasn't very busy and you could walk around and take pictures without any trouble. We wanted to get our photo taken with a gladiator but Russell Crowe must be having time off at the moment the only ones working were over 60.

We had an eventful time at the trevi fountain once we found it. I put my stuff down next to Mel and sat on the fountain while she took a picture only to come back and find a lady with my purse in hers and she was fluffing around in it. I said excuse me and grabbed my bag quickly checking everything. Then I grabbed her bag and looked inside that too. Close call me thinks.

We decided to stop for a servasa close by and observe the black santas at work. One of the guys had some nice designer handbags so I left Mel at the table and went and had a look. He was waffling on about a good deal then next minute he's grabbing up all of the bags and he's gone telling me to wait there. I turn around and see two police so I sit down at the table with the bag. they look at Mel and say did you buy it's illegal meanwhile I am trying to kick the bag behind my coat. (They have guns) I told Mel to pay and I went down the corner and watched. The police were still hanging around so I shot the gap with a nice new prada handbag. 

The rest of the day was un eventful in just wandered around taking some pics of some ruins and buildings. Pizza for tea and bed.

I had a great time watching these guys. They are plastic plates and one of a pair is blindfolded and the other one has to direct him to the end without standing on a plate.
