Rome in a day … well nearly !

Woke up in Rome !  Headed up to Piazza del Popolo quite near us – every street offers a stunning vista in the gorgeous morning Roman sunshine  – just dreamy.

Headed to the Spanish Steps – Roman holiday number one bucket list item

Closed !  Looks as if Rome and I will get to have another date …

What no more coins ??

Do you think they would notice if I nicked one?

Bucket list item number two ✅. A little Trevi Magic to start a Saturday morning.

Wound our way through Roman excavations, glorious piazzas up to coloseum and Roman forum – awesome, I mean proper awesome!

Thousands of people and very warm – Plan B – beverage (s) in piazza.  Magical.   Is it bad to be drinking in the sunshine before heading to the Vatican City ????

Hmmm – need to mull that over, lunch – and maybe another drink …

On to the Vatican City ….

Damn buskers 😉

St Peters Basillica was awe inspiring – the sound of the voices of the choir  in that building … I have to use that word again … Awesome

Lingered in the afternoon light in St. Peter’s square – caught a open top bus for a Cook’s tour of the rest of Rome and walked back along the River Tiber with its Sycamore trees, bridges and Angels, saints and demons.

Back in time for some hydration and bed.  Yah Rome xox. Me thinks no trouble sleeping tonight.
