Rome and Conjunctivitis

Today was a hectic one starting at 930am when we left the comfort of our apartment-like hotel (Asian Rest House). Day 1 of Rome with Day 7 of Conjunctivitis: Painful and Torturous. Poor WL’s right eye was SUPER sore and red and pus had clumped up his eyelashes. See also xim tia (heartpain).

This pic here is the better pic when we were in Amsterdam, i think like Day 4 or 5 of the infection. Anyway as I was saying, I guess today can be described as one of the worst parts of our holiday when we had to find an eye specialist after going to a public hospital and they didn’t have a doc who could deal with eye probs *rolls eyes*. The horrible thing about Rome is that NOBODY SPEAKS ANY BASIC ENGLISH. Wth! That’s like the universal language can! And the thing that irks me most is that they play the latest pop songs from the USA like everywhere..subways, trams etc. Just go and learn the language first already!

 

BUT, well, as they say..when in Rome..we just Chicken talk to Duck lor.

So anyway, we managed to get to the Trevi Fountain today, but I wanted to experiment with the new pair of boots i bought from Paris for 5Euros – which was a bad decision – and after 2 hours i felt like I was walking on hot coals. Thus, walking down the most famous areas of Rome was a limping girl dragging a blind boy. :(

Wasn’t a very happy experience, especially when the sun came down super sharply in the noon and tempers flared. Even more so when stupid tourists took DAMN UGLY pics of us. Who takes pics of people’s bodies ONLY when the Trevi Fountain is behind us?! Of course take the background also right!! *fumes* That’s the problem with travelling as a couple. Oh well.

Dinner time now, let’s hope Days 2, 3 and 4 of Rome sees a recovery of the conjunctivitis. It is as scary as it sounds.


Ok bye!
