"All roads lead to Rome"

Finally struck out completely by myself. I said goodbye to the Norwegian
girls and have got a hostel room in Rome. I had arranged to meet up with a
friend at the central station but after waiting for 2 hours I left!
A little story about the accomodation we had for the last couple of nights.
We had turned up in a little town north of Rome (1 hour by train). We asked
at a bar if they knew of anywhere we could stay and a girl there said that
her uncle ran the only B+B in that town! She phoned him for us and he said a
certain price (30 euros each), which we all thought was too expensive (since
we could get a place for 15 euros in Rome itself). One of the girls haggled
him down to 20 euros each. In the evening we went to the place and
discovered it was lovely! We had got an excellent deal as I think he
sometimes charges 50 euros! We had prayed early about accomodation on that
day and it certainly worked out well. The owner spoke Italian and German -
both of the Norwegians speak German so were able to communicate well. In
fact, between us we could get by in 5 languages (one of them knew 4 of
them!).
