Mind you, the only time we've been robbed while on travels is back home, in Australia...when our car and everything in it was stolen, in Canberra.

Your ideallic memories and descriptions were what I was seeking but did not find. We were robbed and within 3 hours $4500 removed from our Visa.I fouund the thousands of tourists in Roma which was dirty and crowded and very stressful. I did love the authemtic Italian life in Tivoli outside of Roma with the beautiful paintings and gardens of Villa D'Este and cafe society. However travel made me feel homesick for the Australian life with its easy - hi there, mate - and friendliness. I know Australia is changing but I still think that the spirit there is a warm contracts to an increasingly frenzied world. I just came back from Italy and you put me to shame.
