5 days in this city are fast disappearing.
The accommodation, whilst basic enables me to meet many young and older people (mainly young) also travelling . The dorm I'm sharing at the moment is a reflection of the Commonwealth, an Aussie, Kiwi, and Canadian, all are in the middle of their travels.
It reminds me of being in a YHA hostel with the added luxury of an en suite! So far have taken the tourist route of visiting the Colosseum, Forum and Trevi fountain in one day and the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St Pietra Basillica on the second day. Day 1 was spectacular and the Forum worth a second visit. The Vatican was breathtaking and took some time to absorb the truly amazing artwork.
Tomorrow will be a chance to visit the Appian Way and a catacombs if all goes well.
Achieved both and despit difficulty in locating catacombs did finally go down to level 2 of St Catherines catacombs after walking about 2 miles down the Appian Way from Circus Maximo.
