Rome

Off to Rome. The high speed trains are fantastic. Our accommodation is in Monti - a very picturesque part of Rome. This day and the following- we did the rounds of the usuals. Even though it’s shoulder season there are still many people. Thankfully not too crazy hot though.

We’ve been so fortunate with good weather, no train strikes, smooth runs.
