Food in Rome

Hi everyone, I've been way too tired to write up any blog posts for the last few days (sorry!) so I thought I would post up what we've been eating - enjoy! We are really missing our homemade pasta and curries though! I want pasta!!!! please send me some!!!!!!! and how is this - we have never ordered food from any English speaking places!


Chinese sweets purchased in Hong Kong - these came in useful to eat when we were starving over the past few days while waiting in lines in Rome!



Our 'famous' dog noodles in Hong Kong (Mummy said they probably used dog!!) too bad we loved them.. the Chinese lady running the restaurant who couldn't even speak English gave us free cool drinks AND looked after us so well.. all for under $10 Australian.. we gave her a cute little card with a koala on and wrote 'lovely noodles, thanks! :) ' she loved it so much and kept nodding her head, smiling and waving as we left..

Some type of flat bread with salami while sitting on the side street next to the Panetheon we brought this from a store called 'Despar'( they don't speak English there. )

Pizza at St. Peter's Square - we brought this from a little tiny bakery near the Vatican where they didn't speak any English

Pizza in a park near the Colloseum. We had tomato pizza, potato and rosemary pizza and artichoke pizza. When Clare brought this pizza the old Italian owner had a chat with her, his brother is from Australia and he wondered where in Australia we were from - he had travelled to Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. He also asked how the weather was back in Aus! :D

Tomatoes, Cheese, Lettuce and bread for dinner in our room, brought from the local shop.

Italian style breakfast - cappachino with a pastry! (they make lovely, lovely tasting coffee here! I usually have coffee with 2 sugars at home and here can drink it with none!) I manage to pick chocolate-filled breakfast every morning! :S but we are walking soooo much that I don't think breakfast is hurting us! We all can't wait for Lucca when we have a kitchen though.. not being able to prepare your own food is bad.

Lunch today - we brought a salad pack of carrot, purple cabbage, lettuce and something else green, and had it with fresh bread rolls and a huge container of fresh strawberries.
