While queuing for the Colloseo in Rome, don't be suspicious if you are approached by a young person offering a free guided tour. The guides a re expatriate art students earning their daily bread providing informative and entertaining tours of the Colloseo - a tip is appreciated.

To avoid the long queues for the Vatican Museum, go on Wednesday mornings at around 10 - 11 am. The Pope will be holding a public audience so everyone will be outside St Peter's instead.

Having a Capuccino in a beautiful Piazza is a pleasure, but a pleasure that I do not recommend to do too often it can be REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!!!! But...hey there are somethings that have to do done!
