Roma Roaming

Thursday

(walked 6 miles)

The plane is amazing. I'm writing this in the plane, which is going at 800kmh, at an altitude of 9km. All of the houses are so small and looks like a model village.
At 1pm we got to the hotel (Lancelot Hotel). At 1.40pm we left our room and went on a walk to the Colosseum. We got video guides. The Colosseum was massive and there were loads of tours going on. Did you know that in outside arches there used to be statues. After that we went and had meatball sandwiches. Then we came back to our hotel.

Friday

(walked 15 miles)
This morning we went down to have breakfast at 8.45am. I had 5 breakfasts. At 10.45am we went on a walk. We walked for ages and my hay-fever was horrific. My eyes were itching sooo much.

We had our first ice-cream at 12.00 and completely forgot about lunch.

We got to The Vatican at 2.00pm but it took ages to get in. When we finally got in (at 3.00pm) I realised how massive it was. There were loads of sculptures. Next we went into the dome, there were mosaics everywhere. After that we found a path going even higher, a guide told us "there are 300 steps left". After that annoying fact we started our long walk up. When we got to the top we found out it was worth it, the view was amazing. We could see so much, Vatican City looked epic, it even has a massive coat of arms made out of different coloured bushes.

When we got down it was already 5.00pm and I was starving. Thanks to Tripadvisor and my Mum's eyesight we found a 5 star pizza takeaway. It was really nice. We took it to the Vatican and ate it there. We took the bus most of the way back.But not all of the way. We stopped to have a second ice-cream. When we got back we chatted and then went to bed.

Saturday

(walked 11 miles)
We got up at 7.00am and and read. We had breakfast at 8.30am. After that we went for a walk. We were trying to get through to the Palatine but we kept getting dead-ends. When we finally got out we decided to go to the War Memorial. It was epic. We got rather high and it was an amazing view.

Next we walked around a few streets and found an ok panini shop and got a takeaway. We took them to the Trevi Fountain and ate then there. Also we flipped coins into the Trevi Fountain for luck.

Next we headed to the Spanish Steps, on the way we got an ice-cream. The Spanish Steps weren't very much, all they are is a load of steps with a water fountain at the bottom, but loads of people were there.

After that we went to The Pantheon and had a rest. Sadly the Pantheon was closed, but it was cool to look at. We walked to the Palatine then went to have dinner and it was really nice. When we had finished we went to the hotel.
