Arrived at Rome by Segway (south of the Colosseum) at 9:25am for our 1/2 hour training and 3 hour Baroque Tour. I must say that I was concerned that I would not be able to Segway ... I am very happy to say I did it! I am converted - I loved it! It is the best way to see a city! Our guide Eric, took us along roads, up hills, down lanes, through traffic, on footpaths and through crowds, up and down little steps and on gravel. On the way we stopped off to see The ...

After a well earned sleep in we made our way to a laundromat for some bulk washing; took a walk to get a little orientated and wrote a few postcards whilst we waited. Popped into the supermarket for a few breakie and lunch items (the hotel does not have anything other than coffee for GF). Walked to the Colosseum then up to Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II with an ice cream stop at the info centre before walking to Circo Massimo. Just happened to see a Bollywood ...

We also took a few of the 'bike' tracks that go around the edges and are...

Walked to the top and along to the end of the public track and got back just in time for the 2pm public bus. Talked to the driver about dropping us near Torro De Grecco so we could catch the train to Ercolano and he took a detour and dropped us at...

Picked up for our trip to Capri by a little old half size bus with plastic seats that were not designed for adults to sit on - very interesting, and beautiful ride to Marine Del Cantone, Nerano. Cruised right around the isle stopping at Marine Piccolo where we were shuttled up to Capri - the main town. Walked to the main points of interest at this level with our guide including fabulous views and gardens before having a lemon slushy (it's all to do with the lemo...
