Day85

Day 85.Wed 23rd June.
Happy Birthday to you.


Andy’s 46th Birthday and its our first trip into the eternal City. The campsite has a half hourly bus to the nearest Station and it’s a 1 euro 25 min trip into Flaminio. The train delivers us right to the spectacular Piazza del Popolo.
Just like any other classical Piazza, only with knobs on. What a thrilling first sight of the city.
Visit the Fontana di Trevi, the Vittoriano (love it or hate er,hate it obviously).

Had a colossal lunch before staggering down the Via del Corso to the colosseum.
That was it, we were done in and Andy’s birthday dinner awaited. A special menu of Melon wrapped in Parma ham (the good stuff). Pan grilled roasted vegetable with steak and a birthday cake made with Maize and Almonds.
Happy happy day.

Some Roman geezer, Casear.
Trevi Fountain.

Happy birthday to you.
HOW OLD!
