I had a wonderful time in Rome. After the boys finished the cycle, we had Saturday night, and full days on Sunday and Monday, so we made the most of them.
We walked our feet off, traversing the city and constantly being amazed by yet more brilliantly big old stuff. There were lots of churches, and sitting in on mass on Sunday morning was very special.
There was lots of pasta. The best Spaghetti Carbonara I’ve ever had, washed down with lovely rose wine.
There was no shortage of Aperol Spritz, all served in jars.
And it was wonderful to see The Vatican. The queues were so long that we didn’t go in, but even from the outside it is very special.
I adored Rome and would go back tomorrow. It has the best food, the best drink and it is so accessible. Everything is in walking distance, and there are some lovely neighbourhoods away from the main tourist areas. We didn’t have a bad meal or an unpleasant experience the whole trip – perfection!
And of course, there was plenty of gelato.
