We began the day by getting to sleep in/ be ready to leave the hotel for the day at 10 am.. it was really nice to not be rushed for once in the morning.

We got on the train and were off for the day.. we arrived in Rome an hour later and then hit up the Metro station... this is where the funny part of the day begins.
