There is never a shortage of places to go in Rome. There are fantastic plazas and heaps of fountains scattered all through the city which are a hit with the nightlife/tourists.... and the sights! Just to mention a few, Circus Maximus, the Forum, the Colosseum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza del Popolo, Campidoglio, Trevi Fountain...get the idea. You have to spend at least a week here! The cobblestone roads add a bit of atmosphere too. Just watch the cars on the road. Btw....dont except too much from Circus Maximus. Its a great place but theres nothing actually there. Just grass. Make sure you bring your imagination with you ;) Another thing about Rome was all the people selling loot on the streets. Prada, Armani, Gucci...you name it...you can get it for $10. Theres heaps of guys that have a keen sense for where the police are selling this stuff on the street. Funny thing is...when the police come around youll see a whole pack of them pack up and get outa there in a flash. The weather was fantastic too. Nice and hot. Theres these little fountains everywhere that apparently is just a constant stream of fresh underground water too, so if you get too hot then you can wash your feet, wash your face and cool off. Anyways....my trip ends here unfortunately. Its been a great trip. Weve seen more than we thought we could have. The boys went off to Greece after this and me....back to sunny old Sydney.
