Beautiful Rome

Good morning Italy, let's do coffee!

And then see some old stuff.

The streets of Rome are just so beautiful.
Thank you Jones family for the recommendation. Fabulous icecream!
The Trevi Fountain. We slung out coins over our shoulders and made a wish.


Apparently the quietest time to visit is 4am.

Watching the spray paint street artists.
Il Tempio di Adriano. Roman temple from 145AD. With 11 columns still intact it's now the facade for a conference centre.
A lovely big door.
Pinocchio 1.
Pinocchio 2.
Pinocchio 3!
Pizza! It's hot, salty, cheesy and delicious!
The Pantheon.


Gob smacking!




Cannot get enough of the shuttered buildings here. In their warm tones of yellow and terracotta, they are just so darn lovely!

Piazza Navano.



The Tiber.

We've had a fab first day in Rome. We've appreciated the quiet cobble streets and we've enjoyed just blending in.
Dinner!

  3. We visited Pisa, Florence and Rome in 2008 and had a lovely holiday. Liking Florence best. Our hotel in Rome was a small city one beside a Church. Bells every fifteen mins and old ladies asking for money! We liked the fountain and ice cream. Vatican interesting but very controversial for ur father -in- law!! All love as ever 💜 D S xxxx xxxx
