Not such a nice day today weather wise so we
decided to take the boys into Rome for a Pizza and a 5 mile cultural walk
round the city.
We went by bus and train from Porta di Roma all the
way to Rome for 1 euro! We arrived at Statzione Piramide and had a
traditional (?) Italian Pizza nearby. We then walked to the Colosseo
(unfortunately there was the Italian equivalent of the Tour De France going on
so the whole place was buzzing with bikes, cars, helicopters,
people ..)
However we were all very impressed with how
this amasing structure could have been built 2000 years ago.
We then walked on past the Piazza Venezia to
the Fontana Di Trevi.
We then (trying to avoid the crowds) walked across
to the Tevere river and back to the Statzione Piramide for another 1 euro ride
home.
We BBQ some steaks, said goodbye to the Dads and
Lads and suddenly had a quiet boat. So we decided to get the
eXhilarance cinema going and watch Gladiator - Jack enjoyed it and seeing
the opening scenes in the Bourne Woods and the computer generated images of
the Colosseo.
 Where are the Lads going on their 1 euro travel
card?
 Dads Pizza
 Lads Pizza
 Colosseo - and an international bicycle race!
 Fontana Di Trevi
 The Lads at the fountain
 The Lads on the banks of the Tevere river - they
all did very well to walk the distances with no
complaints
