Rome in a day


Vatican Swiss Guards
 
Some ruins

Trevi  fountain

Remember"Three Coins In The Fountain"  well here are two coins in the fountain

Can you believe the crowds and this was just one place in Rome

By the Coloseum (?)

The Vatican

We just dropped in to have tea with Pappe' but he was up in  the mountains

Lui & AJ noting the directions in the stones, those light lines are compass points

In the cool of the shade, must have been at least 40C,  Lots of water drank this day,  Rome is full of drinking fountains to replenish your water bottles.

OK, in ROme you can take three different coloured hop-oh hop-off busses, Red, Green or Yellow.  We are on the Yellow Christian tour bus.  Oh yes they stop at all the main sites in Rome but by a church some where and the commentary was something like, "on your left you will the the CHURCH of ...., down the street to the right is the CHURCH of....."  
WRONG BUS TO TAKE if you are not into CHURCHES
 
Inside the war memorial site

Someone left a big mess here

Oh the beauty of it all

The Coloseum (?)sp
 THE END
