…….Nothing prepared us for Rome……it is a large modern city that is in effect a 3,000-year-old museum. Around every corner you find ancient monuments, art treasures and timeless architecture. Nothing, it appears has been “knocked down and rebuilt”. Ancient columns, watchtowers and porticoes survive, enhancing modern ‘add ons’. Truly a testament to superb design and recycling.
The cobble streets are very narrow with no footpaths and one tends to forget that you are sharing the street with cars and scooters………..definately a no stilleto zone!!
Thank-goodness we are here for 8 days, but even so we are only scratching the surface of this rich, breathtaking, mind blowing phenomenon……wish you were here…..xxxxxx
