Roman Holiday

So you may have noticed that there hasn't been much posting of late. I've now passed the halfway mark in my challenge and I'm far from half way through the list. So I have some serious catching up to do, well Rome may not have been built in a day but I have at least managed to achieve 2 more challenges whilst having my little Roman holiday.

Anyone who has been to Rome will know all about the Trevi Fountain. The theory goes that if you throw a coin in then you'll one day return to Rome. As this was my first trip to the Latin capital I obviously wanted to book my return ticket and as they say "When in Rome"..! So with the smallest coin possible (no point in wasting a lot of money on a superstition) I joined the throngs of tourists in the tiny square, that is dominated by the giant fountain. Here's the picture story of me and my coin... consider it a before/during and after shot. (I'm the one in the middle with the grey top - not the photobombing teen in front!)

Job done! But let's not leave it there - as regular readers will know over the last year I have done the Salsa in Berlin:

and hand jived in Copenhagen:

So as I was in another capital city I clearly wasn't going to miss this opportunity, thanks to my friend Sally for joining me with this one - here we are doing the Charleston in Piazza Navona in Rome.

I may be deserving a "dance disaster" from Craig Revel Horwood but this now completes the "Do 3 different dances in 3 capital cities". I've actually rather enjoyed this one so may try and continue this in future capitals. I just wish I thought to put a hat down first as I might have been able to fund some of the next journey!
