Roma! What a whirlwind tour of some wondrous sights. We took the train to Rome and arrived at a bustling train/bus station in the middle of Rome. We walked away in what turned out to be the worst direction, through many small streets of virtually identical oriental run tourist shops and knock-off stores. We finally found our way to the Coliseum, wow, just awesome, too much to take in. We visited many other beautiful sites including the Vatican, but my favourites were the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. I'm sure Linda has put up some pictures. It's very difficult to take decent pictures in the midday sun and you need wide angle lenses here, otherwise you just can't capture how expansive the views are.
We walked and rode a bus in the hot sun for most of the day then headed back for the train station. We had about 40 minutes to catch our train so we sat at the coffee shop at the station. I finally had my coffee fix and was pleasantly surprised to watch an experienced barista and receive a great cappuccino. It was very good, but I should remember to put my foot down and get one in the morning, they're much more satisfying before you get too hot. I still need to complain though, I need a big cup of coffee! Enough with these tiny cups!
