Rome - 26,000 steps

Each day we seem to top the previous day's step count. Today we set a trip record of 26,000 steps (and the day's not over yet). Our feet are sore, our legs are sore and we feel like we have walked from one end of Rome to the other ten times over.
We got up early to see the Trevi Fountain on our own. WRONG! Everyone gets up early to see the Trevi Fountain. Then we passed the tiktokers dancing in front of the Pantheon. They nearly had an old bag doing some retro dance moves in the back of their vid.
It is lovely just wandering the streets and taking in the sights. Probably my favourite thing to do. The coffee drinkers love rocking up for an espresso shot at the coffee bar. Cheaper if you stand at the bar and don't sit!
My other favourite thing to do is escape rooms. We did one this afternoon and made it out. Started pretty bad- we were locked in the room and looking at each other with no clue where to start but got better from there. One clue was a slingshot that you had to shoot rubber walnuts through mesh to hit
a target in the next room. Brett and Graham loved it but Bree and I were ducking and diving trying to miss the projectiles ricocheting back at us. Fun times!
Edit: by the end of dinner we are up to 27,000 steps, 2 x handbags, a limoncello and a gelato.Weiterlesen
