Roma


We had big first full day in Rome. We did the Italian breakfast thing, coffee and cake standing up in a little bar. Milana and I loved it. Then we headed to the Trevi fountain. Kylie and Sebastian loved the fruit stands along the way. 

I love just walking in Rome, every corner you turn you are faced with something interesting and different. We arrived at the Trevi Fountain and it was closed to throwing coins in because they were cleaning the coins out. They get approximately €3000 a day out of it, which goes to a charity supermarket. 

We walked and ended up at the Roman Forum. The kids got into looking at the old ruins, then we hit the Colosseum. Sebastian was excited hasn't stopped talking about Gladiators since, he even bought a Gladiator figurine.

After lunch we visited Piazza Del Popolo and walked up the hill to get some great views of Rome. We then headed down to the Spanish Step, but sad they are cleaning and renovating them as we couldn't get to see them in all there glory. 

We wandered past Prada and Gucci on the way, I couldn't afford the €1000 for pants. We went back to the Trevi to throw coins into the fountain to ensure that we return to Rome someday.

Then it was a quick dinner and off to an early bed.
