It's time for another travel diary! So a few days ago we came back from our little four day trip to Rome! We made the trip with our travel couple in crime, Laura & Gerri. We have been in Prague together last year. On Thursday morning we caught our flight to Rome Fiumicino airport. From there we bought tickets for the train and drove directly to the Termini main station in the heart of Rome. The weather was so lovely, sunny and warm. Compared to home it felt like summer already. From Termini we had to walk a couple of minutes to get to our Airbnb apartment which was located in a quiet street.
Day 1
After arriving we left the apartment in search for some lunch. On our way we found a cute ice cream parlor, where we enjoyed some ice cream, I had greek yoghurt ice with honey and pistachios. Right after that we found a typical italian restaurant for lunch. As a starter I had super yummy olives and a veggie calzone as a main menu. Full and happy we left the restaurant in search for the Trevi Fountain. We found it really quickly as it was not far away. There were so many tourists but we made our way through all the people and managed to take some photos.
It was already late so we decided to walk back to the apartment and to make a little stop at the supermarket to buy some food for dinner and breakfast.
After a good breakfast on day 2 we decided to do some sight seeing. There's just so much to see in Rome, so we bought tickets for a hop-on-hop-off bustour. It was wonderful to drive through the city on top of the bus, roofless, listening to classic music and the explanations for some tourist attractions.
Our first hop-off from the bus was at the Colosseum of course. It didn't take so much time to get in there. It was a really sunny day, a perfect day for visiting this open air attraction.
This is Circus Maximus, photographed from the bus.
After all that sight seeing we indulged ourselves with ice cream again. Okay, I also had a macaron on top, so what? (: It was so yum!
We walked down the streets and found a cute restaurant for lunch in a quiet road in a pretty neighborhood surrounded by yellow buildings. I ate some simple but yummy Spaghetti Pomodoro there.
When it became evening we decided to go to the Spanish Steps. It was very crowded, but anyway the view was fantastic. Laura and me went to a nearby supermarket and bought some chips and wine. Then we enjoyed a fantastic sunset with the boys.
