Quirinale Palace...





Trevi Fountain...




Had an espresso before heading back to wake Callum...



Then we headed to the Colosseum which was walking distance...


We did a guided tour inside...

Looking across to Palatine Hill which we will head to next...



Looking across to the Forum...

Had to take a break for lunch !


Gnocchi with prawns. It was okay...


Then back to the Forum...





And up to Palatine Hill...


Then back to apartment. These are from our terrace. 





Then out to dinner at a place I had read about near Trevi. L'Antica Bistecca...



Then walked back to hotel...


I then went out by myself to a nearby rooftop bar that we found, overlooking Trevi Fountain. Had one drink and returned to hotel...
