One thing about Rome is the incredable prescence of the police here. Just before we arrived there were some pretty full on riots and a soccer fan was killed by the police, so we were a bit cautious when we got here. But no worries!
At any given time I reckon there is a Polizia car or squad within 100 metres of us and we have never felt safer!
It was a bit the same in Paris particular around the tourist spots.
One funny thing was when we happened upon a protest sit-in with about 100 students wearing white coats and the riot squad of about 120 and over 30 vans!
Things were going pretty quietly, so I stood up on the wall behind the protest and yelled in my best "Allo Allo" voice that we must all "fight for zee freedom" and tried to get a bit of a chant going
This seemed to help liven things up a bit anyway before Rachel dragged me away!

I really wanted a ride on their bikes. It made me laugh when you could hear the bike before the siren.
