Rome... We got in last night and ate fantastic chinese food just around the corner. I love Italian food but I also love Chinese food and it's been a while since I tucked in!
This morning we set off with big plans, first the colosseum, then the roman forum etc but we arrived at the colosseum to find it shut - a strike. So we went back to the train station - now shut for the strike, our daily tickets useless!
So we walked back to the hotel, then decided to try the main post office to send back some clothes. Long walk and, yep - shut. So we walked to one on the other side of town that had been open earlier, first thing to go right - open! We walked A LOT! No trains so walked all around to the Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain and past a lot of old buildings and the forum ruins and prada, Dior, gucci etc and back to the hotel. We will hopefully get to do less walking tomorrow as I hope the strike is just one day!
