The latest from Rome.......
Our tour guide, Paolo
Lunch in Tivoli
Our bus tour last evening showed us how incredible the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain look at night! Very impressive...........
Today we headed to Tivoli and Villa Adriana. Villa Adriana was the holiday home of Emperor Hadrian, wh had it built between AD 118-138. He wanted to be surrounded by the architectural marvels he had visited throughout the Roman Empire, so on the 300 acre estate he constructed replicas (as well as temples, theatres, thermal baths, fountains and gardens). It is mostly ruins, but still incredibly impressive! After, we had a group lunch in Tivoli at Ristorante Antiche Terme di Diana. An underground cavern that has been unearthed, it was amazing to visit, and the food was impressive also! We felt like true Italians.........
Tomorrow we head to the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel, Galleria Borghese and Villa Borghese Gardens for a full day..........
