Unfortunately I had to step out of the parade as we passed the Colosseum to rush (by modern taxi) to San Giovanni Hospital, where my wife had been taken. However, after getting the doctor's assessment of the situation and then exciting numerous patients and visitors with the sight of a combination of short tunic and high red crest offset with blue feathers I marched on my own back to the Colosseum and then traced the route of the procession back to Quo Vadis, putting in about seven kilometres and getting a nice set of blisters to show for it. Not quite the procession I had been looking forward to but the atmosphere at the beginning was great and the helpfulness of others, in particular the Gruppo Storico Romano, was highly appreciated at the end. Hopefully I'll do the whole thing with my unit next year.<br>
