Rome

Last weekend was a long weekend so we went to Rome for pizza, pasta and gelato - oh and to visit some old buildings too.

We went to the Vatican, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Zoo, Trevi Fountain, and lots of other places. Our favourite place was the Colosseum - and the second favourite was the pizza restaurant near our hotel - then the bikes.  

We walked up to the top of the dome at the Vatican which was fun - 551 steps - but not many other people walked the whole way they all took the lift! 

We had a really good tour guide at the Colosseum, he was talking about what life was like then and comparing the gladiators to super heros and the animals to dinosaurs which made it really interesting.
