Colosseum and looking around Rome

We ate breakfast and drank takeaway coffees before heading to the Colosseum. The queues were epic so we joined a tour which skipped the queue and we were guided around by an archeologist. We heard amazing stories and tales of what happened there long ago. Inspiring that something of its magnitude was built and designed in its day. It was incredibly hot while looking around. We grabbed lunch at a supermarket before joining a tour to look around the Roman Forum. We heard stories of the Roman Empire in its day and walked around the many ruins. Very hot and dusty! We walked to the Parthenon and onto the Trevi Fountain. The guards were a bit insane, blowing their whistles at anyone getting too close to the water. We enjoyed an Aperol Spritz before looking at Piazza Navona. We ate dinner at a little Italian restaurant, pasta of the area - cheese, pepper and a sweet bacon. We stopped at a bar and we enjoyed the balmy night as we walked back home along side the river.Read more
