Day 13: Rome, round 1

Sorry for missing the last post – I was just plain tuckered out last night.  We had an amazing first day in Roma.  We had a free morning, so our group headed to Castel San Angelo & climbed up to the top of the turret for some amazing views of Rome. We then headed to the Pantheon area and grabbed some lunch.  We then met up with the entire group for a tour of the Colosseum and Forum.  Soooo amazing and awe-inspiring! The architecture is just impressive! 
It was a hot one today – umbrellas were super helpful blocking the sun.  We then had some free time to check out the Pantheon & Piazza Navona…and eat gelato.  We should definitely put ‘gelato eating’ on our itinerary as we’re becoming experts!
We had some amazing pizza for dinner and then set off on our Rome By Night tour, partially walking and enjoying the atmosphere in Trestevere.  We then jumped on the bus and got to see some amazing sites at night.  The bonus for me was a pit stop at the Colosseum.  As the Trevi Fountain is under construction, we didn’t stop there but the Colosseum and the Vatican.  Gotta love how different a city looks and feels at night.


Until the next post…
