At 6:30 this morning, the 4 Koreans staying in our room got up and made ridiculous amounts of noise for an hour. Not impressed! Don’t they realize what proper hostel etiquette is?

Ariel, Ben, and I went to the Colloseum and a highly informative guided tour. Then we grabbed our 1 Euro bottle of wine and some snacks and sat in the park drinking wine and playing Gin Rummy. It was a relaxing afternoon enjoying the fabulous weather, eating our picnic lunch, playing cards, and people watching.

We saw the Spanish Steps, which were crowded with people, so we took turns hiding in the crowd and taking Where’s Waldo pictures. We also walked by the always impressive Trevi Fountain, probably my favourite fountain in Europe.

We crossed the river and went to a guide book recommended restaurant for dinner. After an hour of waiting in line we were seated along with an Kiwi bloke (Kallan?) who was in line by himself. The 4 of us had a great time talking, eating the scrumptious food, and listening the to the local Italians out-do Ben with their loudness. When we finally asked for the bill, the waitress came and scribbled some numbers on our paper table cloth and then pronounced our meal cost 40 euros. I’m sure she missed something, because that was unbelievably cheap for 4 people.
