We caught the small bus that runs from the Piazza del Popolo to the Colleseum. We didnt have to queue as the Rome pass has a dedicated line, which was great, as the line was quite long. What an incredible place, as we first entered there was a museum like display on the history of Rome. It's hard to describe just how amazing it is. When you think that all those years ago they were able to build a stadium that is much like arenas we have today . They even had the ability to cover it if needed !! From here John toured the Forum - I decided that my legs had already done enough for one morning. According to John, it was a good decision, as there were lots of stairs !! He was able to stand on the spot were Marc Antony made his famous speech to the Roman people after the assination of Julius Caesar - "Friends Romans, countrymen lend me your ears".
We couldn't find the small bus back, so ended up making our way back to the Spanish Steps and just wandered around taking in the atmosphere. Tour hotel has a bar/cafe attached to it, which we visited before heading upstairs to our room for a breather before dinner.
After dinner a walk to the Piazza - check out the parking in Rome !!
