Rome

Today was one of our free days in Rome so we decided to get out and see the city.

First stop was the Spanish Steps. Built in the 1700s to link the top of a hill with the bottom they are very impressive. It was really starting to warm up so we found Babingtons Tea Rooms just at the bottom of the steps for some refreshments.

We then headed up to Piazza del Popolo which is at the start of the main shopping strip in Rome, Via del Corso. Being a Sunday it was closed to (most) traffic so it was a bit easier to walk along. The prices are not massively different to what you find at home but it was a nice walk.

On the way back to the hotel a car club for Fiat Bambinos went past making a lot of noise and with a police escort. There would have been about 50 cars all classics.

We had a quiet afternoon and evening at the hotel.もっと詳しく
