Rome


Rome was our first stop in Europe after flying from Birmingham. We found the history and old buildings amazing and it's hard to capture it all in photos. Above are some of the classics, the Vatican, the Collosseum, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. The weather was great and evenings were spent wandering the streets to find a restaurant and then gelati after dinner. As our first stop in Italy we were very excited about the food - pizza, pasta, paninis and gelati! The day we arrived in Rome - tired and hungry after a 3am start we were ripped off by a cafe where we paid 30euros ($50) for a sandwich and piece of pizza! Soon learnt our lesson that if there is no menu think twice!
