BURST OF HEAT IN ROMA
Europe is clearly turning on the heater. 36 here today. I need a pewl. Might head up to the Trevi Fountain to watch some tourists get arrested for jumping into the actual fountain and gathering some loose change. Don’t we all just jump into fountains when it’s hot? Main objective for today is to stay cool and hydrated. Nice heads up on this climate aspect from Rome Aficionado/ cousin Ray in Melb. Always feel a little reflective when it’s time to move on. Rome really is a city with a vibe. A nice conversation yesterday with a German couple at Peppy’s Bar. Both from Frankfurt. He spoke English really well with an American accent, having spent his formative years in Germany mixing with American kids near the US military base Ramstein. Wife was from Greece. Retiring to Crete. Fascinating. Will never see them again, but that’s travel. Was actually raining here last night. Pretty intense for 20 mins. Whoah! I’m actually starting to sound like Rob Gell. Managed to scramble under cover at a restaurant. Wipe out for others. A final walk around our zone this arvo. No sign of bookshops or music stores, but there is bikini concept shop. Work that out. Horse drawn carriages, cobbled streets, electric buses, compact cars…..and Frank Sinatra tributes……it’s all here.
