Day 3
Roaming Rome
January 16 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Today was our first big day in Rome! After brekkie we headed towards the Colosseum where we met our tour guide! We headed off to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and then finally the Colosseum itself! Amazing amazing amazing. The we stopped off for lunch at a restaurant called La Base where I had some creamy penne and Sarah had some pizza! After that we decide to wander down to the Pantheon where we had some gelato! (Rare for me, but hey, when in Rome) then we walked all the way to Trastevere where we explored some more and had dinner. One taxi ride later and we were back at the air bnb. ZzzzzRead more

Day 7
Colloseum
March 15 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir uns für einen Besuch des Innenraumes entschieden haben und am Freitag Morgen noch Eintrittskarten für den Nachmittag ergattern konnten. Janosch hat es sich nach den Geschichten über die Gladiatoren sehr gewünscht und wir haben es für den Folgetag mit ihm verabredet. Am Ende waren wir alle Vier drin und es ist wirklich auch mit Kindern gut machbar. Mit einem Individual Ticket kann man sich so lange aufhalten, wie man möchte. Wir wurden am Ende mit als Letzte sehr bestimmt zum Ausgang getrieben.

Die Vorstellung, wie dieser Koloss entstanden ist, hat uns begeistert. Wie fortschrittlich und ausgeklügelt es zu seiner Zeit gebaut wurde, wie viele Menschen dort Platz gefunden haben und die Kämpfe an sich, ist unvorstellbar. Lasst die Bilder wirken.Read more

Gobiklitepe Exhibit in the Colosseo
November 10 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
There was a featured exhibit on the second floor of the Colosseum: "Currently, the exhibition at the Colosseum in Rome is showcasing artifacts from Göbeklitepe, a significant archaeological site in Turkey, featuring replicas of the site's stone carvings and digital installations, allowing visitors to experience the ancient history of this "world's oldest temple" within the iconic Colosseum walls."

The earliest life-sized statue ever found was on display, as well as one of the earliest depictions of a woman giving birth.Read more

IN Rome 🇮🇹
May 28 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Spent 4 nights in Rome!! Crazy big city 🫣 I had so much fun though!
We saw & went into 2 basilicas, I rowed a boat while Will was passenger princess, we walked the Spanish steps, we had dinner at La Canonica ( really tasty food & we watched a full size car fit down the road/alley we were eating in), we watched the sun set, we visited the Vatican City, we also visited the famous Trevi fountain, we wandered lots of streets. We went inside the colosseum & learned about the roman forum & how Rome came to be, we did a small tour of underneath the Trevi fountain, we did MORE walking & we had slushis, gelato & sandwiches!!

Also EVERY time we rode the metro we saw pickpockets, never a dull day in ROMARead more
Traveler Wow, lots packed into your time there! Sounds very interesting, learning all about the history behind places 🤔

Day 6
Brot und Spiele
September 6, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Heute heisst es mal wieder gezielt aufstehen. Denn um 11.00 dürfen wir ins Kolosseum. Das antike Bauwerk ist so gefragt, dass es pro Stund gerade mal 3000 leute aufnehmen kann - winzig hä? 😂 Nichts desto trotz ist die Vorabreservation eines Timeslots sehr praktisch, da man für gerade mal 2€ mehr an den anstehenden Massen vorbeilaufen kann.

Drinnen besorgen wir uns einen elektronischen Guide und los gehts. Der Bau ist beeindrucken und die Geschichten die sich hier abgespielt haben imposant (und eher grausam). Im Bezug auf die damaligen Zuschauerzahlen kann das Kolosseum problemlos mit heutigen Fussballstadien mithalten. Wir waren beide etwas überrascht, als wir herausfinden, dass nicht der Arenaboden erhalten ist, sonder der Blick frei auf die Kellergewölbe fällt.
Am Ende sind wir beide uns jedoch einig, dass der beeindruckenste Anblick des Kolosseums von Aussen ist. Hier wirkt das Gebäude viel mächtiger, als innen.
Den Rückweg tretten wir durch das Forum Romanum an, einer der ehemaligen Mittelpunkte von Wirtschaft und Politik im kaiserlichen Rom. Heute gehört es zu drn wichtigsten Ausgrabungsstätten (und 50% der Guides sehen auch nach Studenten aus).
Nach dem ganzen herumlaufen, gönnen wir uns eine Stärkung um anschliessend durch die Shoppingstrassen zu tingeln, bis wir die Piazza del Pobolo erreichen. Ausbeute: eine kurze Hose für Stephan und eine Handtasche für Tina ✌️🏻
Am abend planen wir die zweite Woche unserer Reise zu Ende und gehen anschliessen ins Mivà essen. Hier gibt es lauter Neuinterpretationen von mediterranen Klassikern. Bei der Past hat Tina weniger Glück, aber der Fisch und das Dessert bringen den Abend noch zu einem versöhnlichen Ende. Etwas Überfressen gehts nach Hause und ab ins Bett.Read more

Day 26
The booked part
July 23, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
The highlights of today were based on a ticket to go see the forum and the Colloseum. Both were exciting, but the forum had more things to look at.
Also included:

- Kate's ancestral pilgrimage to Gelatetia Fassi
- an excellent traditional pasta dinner (pasta alla gricia)
- more of Caesar's old stuff
- the vestal virgin crib and private mcc box
- a detailed exploration about why pagan stuff is cooler

The walking tours were brought to us by Rick SteveRead more

Absolutely Amazing!
October 1, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We have spent a very happy morning at The Colosseum. Can not explain the sheer magnitude of this place in time or history.
The whole Colosseum still has the aura of the mighty empire who built it.
Currently having lots of renovation done on the lower levels but still an absolutely fantastic place to visit.
Would come again and again even though it's a very gory history!!Read more

Day 23 - Rome
August 1, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Today we got up at 6am, packed the remaining stuff and headed for the port of Forio to get in the ferry back to Naples.

Once in Naples we caught the metro to central station and then jumped on a fast train to Rome.
These trains get up to speeds of 299km per hour. Little did we know we got a little food box which consisted of natural water, pineapple juice, a bag of some sort of crisps & a marmalade croissant. We had brought a yoghurt pack from the supermarket but we were happy to get the extra food.

Once in Rome we had to take the Metro to our BnB, anyone knows me I love the metro here…
We survived the metro trip checked in early to our BnB.

We ventured out for lunch to Trastevere. I was quite excited for Trastevere, little did I know it’s dead during the day and comes alive at night!
We got lunch had a walk around then head back to the room so Katie could have a nap and I did some research for Rome.

Once awake we decided we needed a break from pasta, pizza and pastry’s. we headed to the famous Spagla McDonalds!
I must say, it was delicious and a nice break from Italian food!

We had a walk around going past the Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II, Roman forum and Palatine Hill, We ended up in-front of the colosseum at this point. We took some pictures from a point I learnt of TikTok existed then headed down to go for a night time tour of the Colosseum.

We brought the tour in Italian so the only thing I learnt was we walked through to the underground the same way the gladiators did from across the road which I didn’t realise was a structure that used to be there! We brought the tour in Italian as it was 25 euro for the tour each from the actual website or 180NZD each for English from third party tour providers and I just want us to be there with no one there.
The tour was fantastic, took us all the way through underground then back up to level one. Only your tour was there at the time of roughly 25people and then the next group would be seen coming down below as you were finishing.

We ended the night with braving the metro, happy to say we survived again!Read more
Traveler Oh the happiness on Katie’s face - Maccas.
