Today we were heading to the Colosseum and the Forum, the centre of Roman government and commerce in ancient times. We had a sleep in and a late breakfast as there was no hurry today. The weather was ideal, and even allowing for getting lost and window shopping, it was only about a 30 minute walk for us.
We made our way to Via Del Corso which runs from Piazza Popolo to the Vittoriale Monument and...

Hey guys. Loving the blog, especially the Italian leg. Although we did enjoy Budapest, Prague and St Petersburg. Fascinating and beautiful, especially those baths! Your Italian trip is similar to our journey back in 2010 - fly into Milan, dodge the rain at Cinque Terre and train to Rome. So we're loving your tales and great pix. And re-living our own adventures! I'd go back to Milan in a heartbeat, what a place. We even scored some sunny day there, not bad for December. Looks like you had a great, albeit short, visit to Cinque Terre and I reckon you picked the best village in Riamaggiore. Stunning pix. We even enjoyed your train diary, and recalled how we get stuck on a train Genoa and I had climb through the window and then the train from La Spezia decided to go to Pisa instead of Lucca. Glad you had no such dramas. Great pix from Rome too - everything looks so amazing on a sunny day. The Colosseum looks sensational and the Pantheon is a marvel. Shame about Trevi - we got close because it was snowing during our visit. Yep, bringing back many happy memories. Look forward to your Vatican report. St Peter's is the best cathedral I've ever seen - and I'm an athiest! Enjoy, have fun and keep the words and pix coming.
