Rome

The sun was out and the sky was blue but there was a nip in the air but it was a great day for a wander. And that’s just what I did today with no set idea of where to go or what to see, but I headed for the Coliseum to see what it was all about and so had half the planet. 

After here I headed to the Tiber and then looked at any old Roman ruin that I stumbled upon as I wandered around. Mind you many of the older women here were looking like ancient relics too.


I’ve never seen so much heavy make up on women for ages. I saw one old dear that would have been a rival for Alice Cooper.


I then headed to the Pantheon which is an amazing building and so much more than just a huge oculus, but that’s what most people seem to focus on.  It’s a stunning piece of architecture unsurpassed and to make it all the better there was a Pink Floyd tribute band playing outside.

After they packed up so did I and I headed to the Trevi Fountain that was absolutely full to the gunnels so I will return tomorrow to see if it’s any quieter.
