They cancelled our flight back from Rome yesterday. The only alternative was to go to Stansted or pay Easyjet £300 to get home  Had to make our own way back to East Midlands to pick the car up. Took 13 hours to get home. On the plus side, Rome was brilliant ;D |

Only downside was all the restuarants only seemed to serve pasta and pizza. Whilst I like to embrace new foods etc., that got a bit much after 3 days |

Rome is one of the most interesting places I have ever been to. The history there is nothing short of incredible. I take it you went to the Sistine Chapel, the ruins and my favourite place, the Pantheon.  |

i remember the sistine chapel, our tour guide had us queueing outside the vatican museum at 7am to 'beat the crowds'. didn't work.
sistine chapel was awe-inspiring, although the effect was slightly ruined by the guardscoming in every couple of minutes to shout "SILENZIO!"
I remember the forum as well. Amazing, but not the best place to go in the middle of August. Particularly when you've got a tour guide from Sicily who doesn't notice the sun and insists on telling an anecdote about every single ruin.
