An afternoon in Rome

Started the day in Venice.
Made our way to the train station via the boat ‘bus’, then a relaxing 4 hour train ride through the Italian countryside. Caught up in some work and messages while listening to podcasts. Some much needed down time.

Once we made it to Rome, quickly checked into our hotel and then out for lunch. Poor choice - none of us were happy with our food - but we needed fuel.

After that it was go go for the rest of the afternoon - 15000 steps in a few hours and we made it to Trevi Fountain, stop for Gelato, Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, Roman Forum, short stop for an Aperol, Colosseum, then back to the hotel for a short break via the back streets. Found a piano shop on the way back and Ben had a quick play.

Then out for a really nice dinner at a packed Trattoria - with an Aperol.

Finally back to the hotel to watch YouTube videos of Rome to plan tomorrow’s adventure.Read more
