The Colloseum
The ColloseumFor the first time this trip (please excuse any spelling mistakes, the keyboard is crazy here) I've been dumbstruck by a site; The Colloseum. Wow. We spent the entire day wandering the ruins of Ancient Rome: including the Roman Forum; the Pantheon; the Palatine and Capitoline Hills. It is astounding the think of the thousands of years these ruins have been laying about for, all that the city has been through: revolutions, change in rule, great wars... for them to still be standing is pretty damn remarkable really. We also chillaxed at the Trevi Fountain, wandered the back streets of Roma centrale, had coffee in a cute little Piazza and ate in a pizzeria that dated back a century. I was in constant awe of everthing I saw today and am so excited for what is to come. Tomorrow we start our Topdeck tour and I'm really hoping to be able to trek it down to Pompeii the day after (it is appearing to be more difficult to achieve than is desirable).
Until next time,
Ciao xx Lex
