Thursday August 10th - Rome

Pantheon 002
Today we took the on/off bus tour around the city. We spent the first half of the trip just seeing the sights from the open air bus as they covered what we saw yesterday. We then got off near Trevi fountain and headed over to the Pantheon to get some pictures there and also to have lunch. We had some fabulous italian food and also another great coffee. The Pantheon was amazing and the hole in the roof had a strong beam of light shining on an old piece of art.

After that it was on to a massive town square (well rectangle) with a fountain in the middle and at both ends. I will get the proper names for these and put in soon. It was beautiful. Restaurants lined the side whilst people sold souveneirs, holly got a temporary tattoo, and others selling paintings, and the usual fake bags.
