When in Italy – ROME!

After 32 years learning, reading and hearing about it, I finally made it to Rome. I have to be honest and say that it was never really one of my “must-do” capital cities. Many of you might shake your head, however I think it was the one-too-many negative travel tales that had darkened my image of Italy’s capital. How wrong was I!!! Yes the city is busy and you take your life in your hands every time you cross the road. But even when the cars are all riding their horns around you, you can still hear history screaming at you from every corner of every street. It’s like someone decided to lay some asphelt and make a few streets between some pretty amazing historical monuments. We walked everyehere. We ate and drank like Roman kings and Queens. We basked in a late summer sun….

In a nutshell, we enjoyed Bella Roma. If you haven’t been, go. If you have, go again!

The website didn’t mention anything about the 6th floor or no elevator…
