Rome day 3

Feeling better after more sleep but can't face food. Richard solo again for breakfast. Shaking his head at Americans filling ziplock bags with croissants and fruit. They seem to think lunch is included too!
We head out in sunshine - hoorah - for The Pantheon. Used the metro like a couple of locals! Pantheon was incredible. It's massive! And what a feat of engineering, plus far too many slaves. But a thing of beauty. Timed our entry perfectly so no line up. It is now a church so appropriate rules enforced. The most remarkable feature is the dome which is open to the elements but apparently never gets flooded.
We found lunch near the Colosseum as Richard was booked for afternoon entry.. I headed back to the hotel, taking in the exterior of the Colosseum. Made one error on the Metro but made it back to the hotel in one piece! Feet up, tea and sleep.
Richard had an amazing afternoon and returned eventually, foot weary!
Time to pack bags as we are moving on to La Spezia tomorrow for a side trip to Cinque Terra.
It was lights out at 8pm. Gosh where did the stamina go?Leggi altro
