So this morning before it got too hot in Rome I decided that I needed to tick off a few of the big ticket locations again.
Starting point is * at the bottom left of the map being our Room in Roma. My first picture just around the corner and is not the Colosseum but it looked like it!
Then there was the back side of the Victor Emmanuel 2 monument
ohh and a bit of his front side!
And then I got a a little bit lost so here is the other side.
Sorry not front picture
Past loads of old stuff just laying on the ground.
Some great crazy paving from a really really long time ago.
Now here is the real Colosseum and what a great sight to see so early in morning “without too many people”
A hike up the hill to see the Trevi Fountain and make a quick wish …
Some cross fit training up and down the Spanish Steps
A morning walk without the Pantheon well that
wound not be a morning walk in Roma!
Over the Tiber river on the Sant’angelo bridge with its line up of amazing statues.
to see the … Castel of Sant’angelo
Gone off the tourist map to walk up see Basilica di San Pietro, you can’t come to Rome and not come here thats for sure.
Back out to finish my walk along the Tiber river
So after 14,452 steps I think I deserve pasta again for lunch today!
Thanks for the lovely walk around Rome. How long did it take you Peter?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed you do, and the walk is certainly challenging where there are cobble stones.
ReplyDeletethe Spanish steps were literally covered with thousands of Azallias in pots in full bloom, I must show you on your return it was simply majestic.
Must have been put there to impress the heads, being that it was Easter and such an important time of commemoration for the Pope.
Still spins me to think he died the day after I walked through his cathedral.
