We enjoyed a couple of days in warm, sunny Rome – I made the most of the opportunity to do some sightseeing while Charles was at meetings.
I went to
the Colosseum …
… the Forum and the Palatine Hill …
… the
Trevi Fountain …
… the
Spanish Steps …
… St
Peter’s Basilica …
… the
Sistine Chapel and the Vatican …
… and saw the Swiss Guards in their colourful uniforms.
There is
so much to see and do in Rome, and it’s several decades since I was last there! I particularly enjoyed the ancient sites –
there is a real atmosphere among the ruins and it’s not quite so crowded with
tourists as the Vatican.
It was
also a very welcome break from Arctic temperatures in Holland!
