A few Last Thoughts on Rome


Our last day in Rome was spent finding the things still on our list. As well as the Sistene Chapel we wanted to see the Parthenon and Temple to Diana.  These are both close to the Trevi Fountain so we got off the bus at stop #8 and walked the 10 minutes to the Parthenon.  As well as the ancient Roman building there is also a Basilica to Santa Maria and The Martyrs on the site.  Both buildings complement each other although they are totally different.
 
Rome is a vibrant city and deserves it's title of The Eternal City.  The traffic is a nightmare, although I expect it's really just a matter of knowing where you're going. The food is great and there's plenty to do and see.
