Two bodies or an extra lens for my upcoming trip to Rome?

one body only

I was in Iceland last year and carried only my E-M1 with the Panny 7-14 with the Panny 35-100 in my cargo pants pocket. And during my outings I also carried an extra battery in my pocket. Switching lenses took maybe 15 seconds. I agree with others that you need a wide lens, and the 7-14 is brilliant, not to mention a bargain these days compared to Oly's new 7-14. But a longer lens is also nice, and there were plenty of times I was glad to have the 35-100. And absolutely I wouldn't carry a bag - you'll just draw too much attention to thieves. Here are shots I took using that combo, and boy was it a delight compared to my prior Nikon gear that I sold over a year ago and never looked back!
