ROME

DAY 3

Woke around 5am, pretty good! Showered and rearranged bags before breakfast.

Dropped some Laundry at Laundrette near Snack Bar, and had Coffee and Croissants.

Started walking towards the Colosseum, found some beautiful Italian sunglasses for Kate in an Optometrist on the way.

Posed with a "Roman Centurion":


Crawled all over Vittoriano Monument at Piazza Venezia (but got shouted at by the armed guards for sitting down on the steps!)

Then walked past the Forum to the Colosseum.

Climbed up and down and all around the old Flavian Amphitheatre:

It was freezing cold all day. We caught a train back to Termini, and had pasta for lunch.

Picked up the Laundry and took it back to our room, then walked around the city some more:

Enquired about accommodation for Tuesday Night, as tonight was the last night of our pre-booked accommodation, and looking for something cheaper.

Found the local PAM supermarket, and bought some bread, cheese, tomato & salami for Dinner.

Played cards in our room, had a few drinks, then an early night to bed. In retrospect, we would have liked to have spent more time at the Pantheon today. Off to the Vatican tomorrow.
