Today was a combination of driving and walking tours. We
drove from Tuscany to Rome, stopping first at Florence to see the Duomo, Diazza
della Signoria, statue of David, Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce Basilica. I am
not sure which structures all of these are unfortunately, because our tour
group is too big for us all to be near enough to our tour guide to hear what we
are looking at. This was also our lunch stop, so in our spare 15 minutes we
found a fast food pizza shop, had our food and ran off to the bus. Actually
this was the best Italian pizza yet.
The 2nd walking tour was a couple hours long. It
passed by the famous Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon (which
wasn’t open to the public at the time), Piazza Navona, the Roman Forum and the
Colosseum. It was a fast paced tour, which really just gave us an idea of what we
want to see in more detail when we go back. We will have time to go back and
see everything again because tomorrow we have a tour of Pompei and then the
next day is a free day to go back and explore Rome.
Anyways, after both the walking tours we ended up back in
our new campsite for dinner around 9pm. Dinner was chicken with salad and a few
fries, which strangely enough beat the pizza, pasta and bread. Afterwards, we
took a brief look at the local supermarket and came back home for showers and
very soon, sleep.
