Italy: Having been there last year, I can confirm that their is an erotic
section to the Vatican art gallery, but that it does require an upgraded
ticket and your only allowed in when guided. Shame....

For some reason, no matter how vehemently you claim to be a catholic, and
want to "just check up", they will not permit you to visit the Z-stacks.
This is very unfair.

In Rome, the whole vatican is great, well worth a look. The Colleseum is
actually quite small, not nearly as big as gladiator made out.
Nero's tomb (I think its was neros...its in front of a huge bridge) is
amazing and well worth a look. What Thantomancer could resist?
Didn't see the catacombs of rome. Ran out of time. Very annoyed about it.

Pompei is one of the best things you will ever see. Most of the place is
still whole, including most of the ampitheatre and streets. Any UA game in
italy deserves a sequence there, perhaps stumbling upon an attempt to raise
the spirits of the dead still encased in ash amid the ruins (of which there
are quite a lot).

Hellanium (I know thats wrong...The name is omething to do with hellenic,
because its an old greek settlement) has some marvellous and mostly intact
old temples, the best place for a sacrifice

Read Foucalts Pendulam (spl?) for more european esotoricism. The final
chapters desperate flight through paris, terminating beneath the monstorous
Eifel Tower, Telluric energy discharge point. (By Umberto Eco)
