Flying BA economy to Rome. I think we were spoilt by premium econ!
Colosseum and newly opened underground.
On the train from the airport into Rome there were another couple, us and a guy in our carriage. About the second stop another guy boarded. He came towards us so I put my hand on my luggage in my usual paranoid fashion. He went to get off the train but then came back and sat down. As we pulled out from the next station the couple at the other end of the train started swearing (in English) the guy had picked up one of their bags and walked off the train. They couldn't do anything but watch as he casually walked down the platform as the train pulled away from the station.
Ronnie's now as careful as me.
We dropped off our gear at the apartment we found through Sleep in Italy at via Oreste Tiburzi in Trastevere and went for a walk. We walked past all the major sites and headed towards the colosseum.
The colosseum underground tour was the highlight of the colosseum tour. Fantastic. We got to go to the third floor as well - usually locked off to tourists - for a great view over the city.
