Roman Holiday

The Roman Coliseum


The heading "Roman Holiday" is for all of us "mature" folks out there who can remember the wonderful Hollywood movie with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

Rome is definately up there with London and Paris. Its got great weather, its an easy walking city, the people are friendly, the food is fantastic and it has over 2,000 years of history on display.

We have been blessed with wonderful weather since we arrived; beautiful sunny days with temperatures ranging from 10 - 16c.

The Pantheon was built a few years before the birth of Christ and only survived due to it becoming a Christian Church in 609. The Dome is bigger than St. Peter's and is built of concrete.
