Now, I need your guys' advice... My options:
- Add an extra day in Rome (2 Full days)
- Cut Rome out completely (Extra day in either Nice or London)
- Cut London completely (4 days in Rome)

Somethings to consider:
- I don't know Italian
- It is just me and my girlfriend. Clubbing and partying is not really an option
- I'm not that big of an Arts guy.
- I also have a short attention span... Individual monuments (So not a major thing like the Vatican, but say something like The Coliseum) can only keep me interested for a few minutes before I want to move on.
- I like to learn stuff when I visit places, Things of scientific, political or religious significance interest me.
- Mostly I'm going to want to walk around, shop, eat and just enjoy the vibe. Not really much of a tourist.
2 things:

1. Stop worrying about the language. I don't speak a lick of Italian and managed just fine. Same goes for my lack of native language skills while travelling in any other location. You'll be able to figure it out with a mix of broken english and odd gestures.

2. Your short attention span and interest in learning things may be a problem. Have you tried Adderall?
