Day 75, 4/2/24 Rome Italy, 2nd day

VENI, VIDI, VICI

Haha, not quite…. But need to woke up pinching ourselves that we are in Rome. No more rain today and the Sun is out…. What a difference..

Hotel included breakfast is at a nice little restaurant at a nearby square
Beautiful pantheon view from last night
Starting our morning walk when the Pantheon is not too crazy packed, too bad it’s not open yet.
Random sceneries during morning walk
Place known for stray cats… Used to be a temple of sacrifice
Roman forum… The forum of Caesar… That was P in 1998 at the upper right corner
The colosseum… That was P in 1998
Campidoglio square, built by Michaelangelo.. The square housed a beautiful museum, the only museum we have time to quickly scanned through
Piazza Venezia
Walk back to train station…happened to stop by trevi Fountain again. 
This were the crowds we are navigating almost every where we go in Rome
Train ride back to Civitavecchia, beautiful sceneries abound
After all this big rush since this morning, we finally sat down for an authentic Italian pasta at Civitavecchia before going back to the ship.. P requested to have a selfie with the patron since he liked his pasta so wwll
Sceneries in Civitavecchia on way back to ship

We were really happy to have the chance to stay one night at Rome and check out familar places and new places… Even with the longer stay, we still wasn’t able to decently touch Rome’s surface… Luckily we were able to tour the inside of colosseum, Roman forum, pantheon, Vatican city, st Peter’s square before, so we do not need to bother with the Disney land like lines this time….P said Rome wasn’t built in a day and should not be tour in a day 😆

Will surely be back again… We kept seeing the phrase “Roma caput Mundi” everywhere, it’s Latin for: Roman capital of the world…. It really feels like it, so grand, so Majestic….

Cheers Rome… We definitely will be back…. (we have to… We make that wish at the Trevi Fountain)

  1. The free breakfast looks much better than our continental breakfast 🥣
    Then and now. I don’t really see much of a difference. But, he seems happier with brighter smiles. Oh. I know why. There is someone next to him.
