Rome II

Today we are off to explore. The full moon over the rooftops just before sunrise is a lovely start to the day. As the sun comes up we head to Trevi fountain as its a ten minute walk from the hotel.

It’s a chilly morning and we are wrapped up well in the early morning chill. The fountain is lovely and there aren’t many people as its just after 6 in the morning. I am amazed at the people there in there instagram outfits looking like they are just about to head out for a night on the town. They pose and click and pose and click, over and over and over. Turns out the girls in the photo on the right below were in D&K photos that they took 20 minutes before us. Later that day we returned, or should I say tried to return, home past the fountain and the crowds were absurd.

We have a highlights of Rome golf cart tour booked for ten so after a great hotel breakfast we are off. The trip is a lot of fun, as we bump our way over the cobblestones and through tiney tiny alleys to see the sights. Our guide Marco is great and the morning literally zooms by. We stop at a church, at fountains, at squares, at hill tops and even the circus, Maximus circus that is. It’s a great day out.

We finish up by asking Marco to drop us somewhere yummy for lunch and he doesn’t disappoint.
