Roma Day 1




Bella Roma!

Well our impression of Italy has taken a 180 degree turn!

We arrived in Rome this morning to a lovely hot day and after checking in to our B&B Giovy (fantastic reception....thanks Carolyn) we headed down to the Termini to board the open top bus for a two hour tour of Rome.
So the photos today are from the top of the bus.....tomorrow we are booked for the Vatican Tour.
We had a cappuccino at a handy Trattoria across the road from the hotel, a wine after the bus tour (after dropping in our laundry for washing, also across the road) and dinner tonight where we were treated as treasured regulars! Again, aperitif sparkling on the house, bruschetta...on the house and Limoncello....on the house! With the bottle of wine we ordered I was a little happier after dinner.......Bella Roma!!!


We walked to Santa Maria Maggiore after dinner to walk off a little of the Tiramisu and now I am catching up on the blog while Peter takes his shower. I am sure we'll have a better night's sleep tonight!
