Rome: just a little bit more

While we are on the subject of Rome...

We had an excellent bed and breakfast in Rome. The lady spoke very, very little English, so there was a lot of pointing and smiling. We stayed in a room off here apartment with the most fantastic view. We had our own entry from the balcony and our own key so we were still able to be independent.
Our breakfast: just perfect.
The view: we could see from Saint Peter's all the way over to the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier and the Colosseum. Breathtaking. On our last night we even got to sit out here and watch fireworks.


On the very last day of our honeymoon we were back in Rome and decided to visit the Spanish Steps again to buy a piece of art we had seen here last time. This time the view from the top of the Spanish Steps was quite beautiful.


Also- just by chance- we decided to visit the Trevi Fountain again. We arrived just after this prank. Everything was sectioned off and there were a lot of important people standing around looking upset. We stayed around to watch them stop and restart the fountain. We felt quite amazed that we saw the fountain red and blue on one holiday!

Exciting that you were actually there when the Trevi Fountain turned red. Rome looks so interesting and peaceful from your balcony :)
