2 days in Rome, 2 days in Venice - that's the travel equivalent of going into a gelato shop, tasting 2 flavors, and walking out without a cone.

Probably a few reasons ranging from checklist tourism, being somewhere often enough that a couple of days is fine because there's next time, or just not having the time off and going for 2 days is better than not going at all. Rome is a tough one though, because things are spread apart, and the big things take a while. If I were to do a tour of the forum, colosseum, and vatican in the same day, I'm not sure how I'd even get up the next day.
