Our last day in Rome...
We had to be up early
today to check out of our accomodation, so we packed up and checked
out, but left our cases at reception and headed off to Campo Di Fiori
to experience the markets. The stalls mostly sold fruit, veg and
local produce, but we tasted some nice cheeses and fresh fruit, and I
bought a necklace and a choc-chilli liqueur!
We wandered around the
streets nearby and looked in a few cute shops. We eventually made our
way to Piazza Navona where we saw hundreds of paintings of Rome and
its' surrounds.
We took the tube and
bus back to our accomodation at 4, where we caught the shuttle back
to the airport and flew back to a chilly london night (12 degrees),
at least we had coats to wear with our shorts!
It was a fantastic
trip, and Joan was a perfect travel companion :) I think my favourite
sights were the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum, but wandering the
streets and discovering places frequented by the locals was very
enjoyable too.
Arrivederci until my
next trip
