I commuted in Rome for about a week, it was f*cking dangerous!

Also watched highlights from Ben Hur over Easter......

    Roman drivers are bonkers - you almost never see an undented machine! Very sexy alfa police cars though.

    What I failed to assimilate is the level of graffiti......how can you live somewhere that stunning and then tag (bad) spraypaint graffiti all over it? Like smearing an Armani suit with excrement.

    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
