Ciao from Bella Roma
We are having a great time and seeing so much and doing sooooooo much walking. We've been lucky with the weather, sunny and hot. We're enjoying buying food and trying new things. Today we went to the Colosseum and did a behind the scenes tour which was very interesting. It was a small tour and they took us down, underground where the animals and gladiators were kept. What an amazing place. I've made my first video of our climb to the top of the dome of St Peter's Basilica and enjoying being able to look back on it. Take a look at the mosaics there. Give my love to the Mosaic ladies. Love Liz
