A simple route for the last
day and with only 95 miles to do we were rather chilled. We ate through the miles
despite the 40 degree heat on a straight road making it just south of
Civitavecchia by 1 pm where we rewarded ourselves with the final swim in the
sea, the couscous and pasta combo and numerous ice creams (Living the life).
Once suitably chilled we headed
for ROMA… arriving in the city just in time for rush hour we zoomed past all
the stationary cars and into the mayhem of the center of Rome. Traffic lights to Italians apparently do not exist as we battled blindly through the
pandemonium of traffic.
The Colosseum stood before
us we rounded the corner and in front much to our relief Dom our recently acquired giant, waved frantically ushering us through the crowds. Beers at the
ready as a group of Americans soon caught onto the palaver of our arrival and started
to snap away with the cameras. I’m still not sure what we have actually
achieved has sunk in.. but never have we all been so relieved to step off our
bikes!
