First time I did we walked for over an hour because it's not easy to find. Then you hear water and walk a few steps further... At 2am it's magical. Last time I also visited late a night when it was slightly quieter. Still had that magic feeling.<br /><br />It's the noise of the traffic which gets to me. You can't walk down the main roads without needing earplugs. Then I'm not used to traffic noise like that here.<br /><br />As for the Colosseum. I believe they've now opened the 'dungeon' bit. They've been working on it for quite a few years and I read recently it had partially been opened to the public. Another excuse to return. :)<br /><br />Ah you need to find a cheaper hotel without a mini bar and an amiable night porter who's happy to give you a bottle of something in the middle of the night at a good price. ;)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-4801333374659025862010-07-25T20:41:23.622+01:002010-07-25T20:41:23.622+01:00I'll have to go back and see that.I'll have to go back and see that.The Filthy Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584236558282159183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-76405551785992267032010-07-25T20:25:52.241+01:002010-07-25T20:25:52.241+01:00My all-time favourite world city .. been 5 times n...My all-time favourite world city .. been 5 times now ..<br /><br />Talking of cops & crossing roads .. did you by any chance get to witness the amazing "ballet" performed by the rotund, moustachioed traffic cop at the multi-road junction opposite the Victor Emmanuel Memorial ?<br /><br />Standing up there on his "bandstand" its the best free show in Rome ... ;)Captain Haddocknoreply@blogger.com
