Roma

Sorrento to Roma

Travel Day - grrrrrh

Need I say more

We arrived in Rome and headed to Camping Village Roma - it is basically a resort only cheaper.

Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday and Wednesday were spent looking at the sights Roma had to offer.

After 19 hours in 2 days our feet hurt and our heads were full of history. We could see no more ruins today.

Some of the places we visited were;

The Spanish Steps,
The Colossuem,
The Trevi Fountain,
The Patheon,
Piazza Navona,
Piazza Venezia,
The Roman Forum,
Circus Maximus,
The Temple of Hercules,
The Mouth of Truth,
The Tiber River including a 1st century bridge,
Capitaline Hill (with a live orchestra performance),
Piazza Popolo,
Via del Corso with its elite shops including Prada, Guicci, Armani, MaxMara, Valentino, Versace to name a few.....

We finally had Italian pizza - yum!! Minimal toppings, maximum flavour.

After sightseeing for 2 days non stop we are planning on spending a day by the pool enjoying the good weather and warm, no, hot temperatures.

Thursday

Today we got up and basically didn't do much at all. We washed our clothes and hung out by the pool before coming and updating our blog site. Tomorrow we are hitting the Vatican before leaving Roma on Saturday and heading to Cortona.
