Rome

Our first stop in Italy was Rome. It was amazing to see this famous city in person. It definitely deserves it’s reputation.

The Colosseum was fantastic!ColosseumIMG_0278IMG_0259ColosseumColosseum framedWe sat down to look at our map to work out how to get back to our place and we were sitting exactly where the photo on the map was taken from.Rome - ColosseumLots of wonderful cafes everywhere.Italian CoffeeSunset from our apartment.Sunset in RomeSidewalk cafe in RomeIMG_0465There seemed to be ruins every corner we turned!Roman ruinsMmm…lunch.Lunch in RomeI’ve never seen so many Smart Cars!
