This 40-ish hour journey to Kathmandu consigns Rome to my memory file. A great experience despite the need for prophylaxis for strep meningitis when my room mate had a nasty episode. Fortunately 2 of us managed to persuade the ambulance crew that A was in need of treatment and was suffering more than 'flu symptoms!
The penultimate day in Rome was not finding the route to the Appian way but by default touring the Roman cathedral of San Giovanni. The cathedral's bronze doors were another example of the re-cycling of ancient Rome's artifacts.
My third attempt was successful in walking part of the Appian Way, the bonus was visiting the St Cecelia Catacombs. This experience finished the Rome visit on a high note.
