It's colossal!

Our day started early. There had been rain and the sky was still cloudy. It wasn't too hot, but as the sun became more visible it became very hot out of the shade. We had tickets for an early entry to the Colosseum. So glad we did, the crowd at the entry for those with tickets was bad enough but the queue for those wanting tickets looked like it went forever. The Colosseum is so huge and amazing. We expected big but wow this is huge, and so old. What a step back into history. We really enjoyed our time there, then spent several hours just wandering about part of Rome.

At lunchtime we found a restaurant and got to sit down for a while! Where better to have a Caesar Salad for lunch than in Rome? I've never tossed my own salad before when served this, but it looks very impressive presented the way they did it. There's lots of greens hidden underneath. What's more it was absolutely delicious 😋

We came across incredible ruins and beautiful buildings. We were in awe of what we saw. The crowd at the Trevi fountain was very large so the photos aren't as good as I'd have liked. You couldn't get back far enough to see it all without too many people in the way. I managed to get close enough to take a short video. What a wonderful start to our Roman adventures. The gelato here is just as yummy as the icecream we found in Croatia. We feel the need to test it out and compare at different places 🍦😉Leer más
