Night 1: All Roads lead to Rome (I hope)

We caught the train with no problem and we actually were on time.
After an uneventful train ride,
apart from not being able to sleep for 12 hours afraid that we would not be awake when the train reached our destination. We arrived at Tib. Station in ROME at 08.00.

DAY 2: When in Rome...

We took the Metro from there to Stazione Termini and walked a bit to our Hostel, freezing our bits off (it was 2°C).
After dumping our kits at the hostel, without a shower or breakfast, we headed straight for the Collosseum. We admired it from all angles and confirmed that it's as amazing as people say it is. We spent a couple of hours running laps around it and gladiating. It honestly was really damn cool running around it.

We Spent the Afternoon Running round the Palatine Hill, a massive area littered with ancient Roman Ruins. It is supposedly the place where Romulus and Remus got saved by the She-Wolf
and where lots of rich Roman people had their big houses.










Some of the many many ruins on Palatine hill.

After this we walked back to our hostel, had a nice, long awaited, warm shower, cooked a warm plate of pasta then went on another little excursion. We headed to Piazza di Spagna by metro and checked out the spanish steps and the fountain in the Piazza.








From Piazza di Spagna we made our way to the Fontana di Trevi, quite a spectacular sight, even for Rome. We sat by the fountain for a while, then it started raining so we waited it out under a near by canopy. We walked back to our hostel (in the Asianic district), we decided that walking through a city like this is one of the mst interesting and thorough ways of getting to know it.

Next we went to sleep in our nice cosy hostel room :-)
