Rome Day 3 & 4

---

Rome Day 3: Got up late and then posted the excess baggage back home!!! We went off to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Another magnificent church with a very long history. Walk around the city and had a relaxing day. Lots of great food!

Rome Day 4: Got up early to do a walking tour of ancient Rome starting at the Coloseum, the Forum, the trevvi Fountain, Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Amazing to think that we were walking on pathways and roads that were walked on by the ancient Romans over two thousand years ago. We got a huge kick out of walking these same roads.

Shortly after leaving the square where we visited the Pantheon, the riot police and protestors clashed with each other over the Italian Austerity measures. We were glad they chose to wait until we had left! Once again we ended up with lunch in a wonderful restuarant in a Piazza. Sadly we then had to make our way back to the B & B to finalise the packing before having our final dinner in Rome and Italy.

Real History
So much history in these walls

They would have need a good suspension!

The Scooters
Oh the scooters that jinx all over the roads, the pavements and anywhere they can!

We threw in the obligatory coin
