The city of Rome was to be our final destination today. On route we stopped at Pompeii. A Quite fitting visit since my birthday is the same date of when Mt Vesuvius erupted. Amazing to see how advanced they lived over 2000 years ago. Unfortunately it was so hot I could only concentrate on one thing at a time. Either listening to the guide of taking photos. It wasn't until later that evening we discovered we had been roaming the ancient city in 40 degree weather. No wonder my multitasking skills weren't up to scratch.
Rehydrated and in the comforts of the air-conditioned bus we continued our journey to Rome. On arrival we were quickly sent off to our evening tour of Rome. First stop, food! What an entertaining evening we had being pampered over for by Italians waiters. Little did we know that all the lovely ladies on the tour would be given a beautiful rose. Some of the deliverances were more theatrical than others.
Janos then gathered up the group and took us to the Trevi fountain to make our wish! 1 coin for a wish and 2 coins to make sure you return to Rome one day. A sight to be seen! So many people squished around the fountain enjoying the ambience and beauty of the artwork. Moving along to the Spanish steps. Many tourists littered the steps enjoying the balmy Roman evening. I look forward to my return in only a short few weeks.
