Rome day one


By Lowell | August 14, 2007 | Category Greece

Spread the love

Our last morning in Greece we said farwell to our cruise mates and made our way to the Athens airport. After our recent luggage experience we all tried to hand carry our bags but due to their weight all had to be checked. Good news after waiting nearly an hour and some anxious moments our luggage arrived.

Rome – Sunday Aug 12th

IMG 5364Arriving in Rome we immediately joined Murril’s friends Bill, Vickie & son’s for a walk and dinner. Our hotel the Hiberia is IMG 5361right in the center of ancient Rome. The Roman Forum & Colosseum is in easy walking distance. After dinner last night we walked to the Trevi Fountain to throw coins over our shoulders to ensure we will return to Rome. Today (Sunday) we visited the oldest site in Rome the Roman Forum and Palatino hill. It’s impossible to describe the grandeur of it all. Here’s some images of the day. I’ll identify some of them later.

An amazing day walking through history. We tried to tour the Colosseum near sunset before going out to Piazza Navona the IMG 7931night spot that the guide book recommends as the place to be. Unfortunately the Colosseum had already closed for the evening giving us a chance to walk through the city at sunset.
