We finally made it into the Colosseum and were amazed to find the floor missing to reveal the series of corridors and lift shafts from which animals were launched into the arena. It was still piddling down so we made our way to the Pantheon which was indoors and in the area renown for its coffees. Once again we were not disappointed with a tourist site. It is such a thrilling place and every place you visit is just as amazing as you would imagine it to be. The best was yet to come. The Bangladeshi umbrella fencing championship took place in front of our café table! One of them must have been feeling slightly aggrieved about something one of his compatriots had done, so he attacked him with an umbrella. It was hilarious and yes we were probably very evil to laugh but you had to have been there.
