Rome - Day 21 - 12th of August - The Evening

After returning to the camp site to chill in the afternoon we decide to head back into Rome in the early evening to see a few more sites and then have a nice meal to celebrate our six year anniversary.

Was alot nicer to be wondering round in the evening as it was not only a lot cooler but there was alot less people about which was nice.

We saw a few of the sites that were left on the list and then decided to go for a drink as it was still early and we did not want to eat too early. We ended up going to a nice little bar/cafe for a drink before dinner. It was nice but a bit costly. It was 7.50 for a pint which was a bit much if you ask me, although we did get a nice spread of snacks which was pretty comprehensive.

After the drinks we tried to find one of the restaurants which recommended in the Lonely Planet book after about 10 min of walking up and down the correct street we realised that it was closed as we found a really small sign saying so.

About 15 minutes later we had found somewhere which looked nice and were at a table. The food was nice but the service was poor. Rachel's main course came a full 15 min before mine which meant she was pretty much finished before I had even started. Not ideal when you trying to have a romantic evening and one person it just watching the other eat.

Meal done we left, without leaving a tip, and went for a little stroll back to the tube station.

The tube turned out to be closed for work so there was a replacement bus service which never arrived so we ended having to get a cab back which was not ideal as it had been an expensive few days and payng 20 euro's to get back to the site was not ideal but we did not really have any other option.

Another very busy so we were both exhausted once back at the site. Bed was calling. Night Night!
