| Page Views: 17,357 Last Visit to Rome: March, 2003 | Rome the Eternal City ....of Love and Ice-Creams by sandysmith - last update: Apr 22, 2004 |
Well we first visited Rome on a day trip whilst on honeymoon and barely scratched its surface.
Now we are back from a 4 day visit 18 years later, kind of a second honeymoon ;-))
What a wonderful hectic few days we had and such lovely blue sky weather too.
Thanks to Sara (Sarita76) for meeting with us on our arrival in Rome and giving us a
lovely walking tour of some of the sights in Rome and enjoying a delicious ice-cream.
Hugs to you Sara!.
We've still only scatched the surface of Rome but this page attempts to shows our
impressions of this lovely city.

A few days is never enough :-( Rome is somewhere you always neeed more tiime for. We had just a few days and I know there are must see things we had to miss - like the catacombs - due to time constraints. Here is a brief summary of out sightseeing:
DAY1:
afternoon meeting with Sara - Barberini, Spanish steps, Piazza Popopl, Pincio, Trevi and Quirnale hill.
DAY2:
Colesseum, Palantine Hill, Forum, Capitoline Hill, Piazza Venezia, Trajan markets, Pirimide, Bocca della Verita, Teatro di Marcello and Trastevere.
DAY3:
Vatican, Castel Sant'Agnelo, Janiculum Hill, old historic centre of Rome for Piazza Navone and pantheon etc.. Trastevere in the evening.
DAY4:
a contrast was a trip to Tivoli - the town itself and the two villas nearby. | | | same place same people..18 years on |
