Today we set off for Rome on the train about 40mins away to go on the Shaz's Tour of Rome. As she had spent a ay previously with Ali doing the sightseeing thing we left it up to her to show us the sights of Rome.
First we started out at the Colosseum which is a pretty amazing place and so much history given its nearly 2000 years old. From there we wandered the streets of Rome past all the usual sites, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Churches with statues by Michelangelo, Piazza's with Bernini Fountains, Parliment House, another Eygptian Needle, the Vatican Castle, winding cobbled streets with funky shops, winding streets with very expensive shops and finally ending up at the Spanish Steps. A full on day of walking and taking in the vibe of the city...
