Rome – 22 June 2011

Didn’t set off quite as early as planned and it was already very hot when we caught the Metro to the Colosseum.  Had to queue for about an hour to get in, but at least it was in the shade.  Went on to the Forum & Jane, Kay and Susan sat under a tree while Sian and Tony explored.  Got the metro back and had lunch in the flat provided by the shop across the road – Pizza, Stuffed Tomatoes and Pastries.  All fell asleep, apart from Sian who went to explore the Piazza Populo and the Spanish Steps once more.

Ate in and had chicken salad and spent an Italian hour or two talking about the day’s events. At 10pm we decided to go down to the local bar to take in the ambience (and the wine).  Got home about midnight.  Very relaxing.
