Jewel of the Seas Greek Isles 2019 - Rome
One of our to-dos for the day was the castle but after eating we were
both so hot from the humidity that we went back to the hotel and changed
into shorts and checked into our room. After the quick change we headed
back out towards the castle. Off on our adventure we go!
The humidity was real y’all. my face melted off and my hair quickly frizzed. Living in Colorado I forget humidity sometimes.
We paid the entry fee for the castle and in we went. FYI there is a restroom (WC) directly inside the entrance.
We got a kick out of Nate trying to fit in this “tiny” guard building.
We were initially going to walk over to the Vatican just to explore, but after seeing how busy it looked we decided to pass. Found out later the pope gave mass that day and that’s why.
We continued on toward our next destination...another site we did not visit last year
We reached our destination: the piazza del popolo, another place with interesting history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_del_Popolo
We decided to climb to the top of the overlook.
Continuing on, we passed the Trevi Fountain which was busy as always, and headed to our building, Altar of the Fatherland.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:
The view from the top is well worth the euros and elevator ride
we walked over to the station next to the Colosseum and made our way up to the street above (we were told there was a restroom up there)
We didn’t go up there last year and I was so excited when we got up there because I discovered the Instagram location I see in all the pics....I also discovered gelato
This location was perfect for photo taking but unfortunately the Kenyan street pushers were unbearable. We were so annoyed. We decided to walk to the other side of the Colosseum.
