Agreed Sam, the constant traveller and the only existing Yeti of the century ! My friend works for Al-Italia and has landed there over 500 times in 3 years. He claims the cobblestone roads are smoother than marble due to the millions walking on it every day ! So, you wont feel any discomfort even on a bicycle ! I found Vatican city with more pedestrians than even cyclists though ! Some pictures from my personal album. I wish we can dream of such empty parking spaces in India !
