Campo de' Fiori Rome

We had the greatest night exploring Rome. We spent the morning getting everything crammed into our bags for our flight tomorrow and went to the supermarket for groceries. Grabbed food for lunch and dinner. Molly has been craving Tacos so with the ingredients we could find here we made some...they were gross. Molly enjoyed them though :). Got more …

We spent our day in the center of Rome today! Our first landmark after we got off the metro was to the Trevi Fountain where we threw our lucky pennies in and made our wishes! Next, we headed to the Pantheon, however since it was Palm Sunday, there was a service being held and we could not enter until noon. So we wandered through the roads to Piazza …

The plane was an Airbus 340-300 which had a configuration …

After the Piazza Navonna I headed towards Campo De' Fiori. This is a market which sells all sorts of stuff so I got some multicoloured pasta and looked at all the random pastas, fruit and veg and sauces. I was feeling hungry and there were two recommended places to eat locally but they was take away places and I desperately needed to sit down. It …

My first day out on my own and I could not wait! I did not wake up early enough to run, but instead tried to sleep in so that I was fully energized for the long day ahead. Today is Sunday, and the Vatican City is not opened today, so I will do all the other sites today and spend all day in the Vatican tomorrow before heading to the opera. Well, …
