    Rome wasn't built in a day....

    November 18, 2015 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Another early start had us walking to the Colloseum for our underground tour. There was no line at the structure when we arrived and our tour was soon underway. It was a fantastic way to see the Colloseum from a different angle. The tour also takes you up to the third level with a fantastic overview. An early lunch was had before an afternoon at the Roman Forum seeing all manner of Roman buildings used back in the day. The cobblestones were taking their toll so we started the walk back to the apartment. We managed to find gelato on the way back (miraculous). We rested up for a few hours before dinner at a great little wine bar. We had 3 wines, a cheese and salami tasting plate, pizza, risotto, potato and veggie crostini and 2 desserts for €76. I really enjoyed the atmosphere there - it's called mimi and coco if you're off to Rome sometime soon. Tomorrow we depart Rome and Italy...B and I are off to meet some very special people in Bristol!Read more
