I spent a few days wandering around the streets of Trastevere (number 12 on the list) last year. Only a few minutes walk from the main sites of Rome but a world away from the Spanish steps and co (perhaps because it doesn't have any big 'sites' to shout about). Great for small back street restaurants...

A beer garden used to mean you sat outside when it was nice now you sit/stand outside when raining/hail/snow/sun to have a fag or cigar (me) or pipe (my future me). The weather is the weather so we just gotta live with it.

I went to The Tower of London, Hampton Court, London Zoo, St. Paul's (bloody scared I was - not good with highs and the Wispering Gallery is no joke for us Earth junkies!), the Tate (old and new) to ...

I know it's nice to sit by the pool and soak up the sun but we forget what a heritage we have, an most importantly we have a monarchy, which funds tourism but also makes the Americans jealous and thats good for me.
