Arrival in Rome

Arrived in Rome on a clear but cold day. Awesome city and our hotel is minutes walk from Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. Streets are cobbled and full of people.

Gondola Ride

Went for a gondola ride - really peaceful just drifting around the canals and because it is winter there are not too many people around so the canals weren't like rush hour on the Southern Motorway.
