With Milan whizzing past at 275 km/h the excitement for visiting Rome was building. Three days of excitement, exploring the ancient Roman parts of the eternal city and immersing ourselves in Italian culture at it’s finest were looming before us.

Has the train slowed at the station our Roman adventure begun with a brief walk through the station to our hotel the Aphrodite our home for the next three nights.

With everyone checked in we wondered down the Roman streets in a dire search for something to eat. With our bellies now full of food we walked the streets to the center of eternal city where everyone stood in awe at the fascinating, ancient remains of Roman buildings.

We saw the Coliseum and the Forum while wondering the Roman streets at night, which was absolutely beautiful with the lighting of the buildings really highlighting their beauty and catching your attention.   

Lyndal, Ebnoy and Bethany were due back from their detour to visit their family so we returned to the area of our hotel to find a restaurant to have dinner. Once dinner was finished everyone retreated to bed with sore feet, lots of shopping and a sense of excitement for what laid in store for tomorrow.
