Partying with the Popes

Early start to meet our docent for the Popes, Parties and Power tour. Stop for coffee but they seem to serve one what they feel we dirty foreigners should be drinking. Then hook up with Jose who teaches us all about about the Farnese's and the Borgias and all their very dodgy mates-makes the Australian political scene look like a mecca of upstanding behaviour.

They love their tomatoes here

Palazzo Farnese now the French Embassy


Villa Farnese





 Lunch on zucchini flower pizza, followed by Carapina gelato. We then collapse in a heap and sleep the afternoon away.
Dinner is at Roscioli, a type of deli restaurant, where we attempt the world record cholesterol level. I believe we have negated the last 2 years of dieting in a single afternoon.
