Rome Roaming

Left the appartment in Trastevere to walk to the Treve Fountain to meet up with our kiwi friends (around 6kms)

Tree lined street with the GPS taking us on our journey

Across the river (a grey looking morning) . Crossing roads was a challenge even on a pedestrian crossing one has to play dodgems.

Passed the Theatre of Marcello a historic site with several ruins (piles of rocks) in the foreground

The art gallery (and Russell) in the middle of a very busy roundabout

And finally….

The Treve fountain – one can throw in a coin and it means you will return to Rome! I will reserve this decision until the end of my stay

Found our friends!!!

Sue, Janine and Jill…

Then off to the Spanish steps

Yes we climbed them!

Next stop on the walking tour – the pantheon

Outside, we went inside with the thousands – built in 27AD

All starting to feel the stomach grumblings so we headed to the Piazza Navone for lunch

Check out these shoes – with wings – no red bull in sight

Made it to the lunch destination just as the rain started to fall! Great timing!

The red dog playing in the square!

One more stop

The market place in the piazza Farnese (lemoncello in abundance)

Finally coffee and drink time

Janine enjoying her ice cream coffee and Luke looking on! Still raining and about to make our way back for an afternoon siesta! Tired legs, good food and lots of must see tourist traps ticked off
