3rd day in Rome - Vatican City tour

Our third day in Rome started with great street food. Trapizzinos for 5 euros each. Amazingly crispy bread yummy fillings.

We then did an exhausting. Skip the line Vatican city Museum tour. Was manic full of people and way too much art. Sistine chapel was a dark boxy place. I imagine it full of light and it was not. We did enjoy a few of the guides stories but for the most part was a rushed ordeal.

Day2 evening in Rome

We went to a rooftop bar on day 2 and then had dessert before a nice seafood soup and pasta dinner

Walking tour of Rome

Today started with a nice breakfast for 12 euros and then a walking tour of Rome. We went to the famous Trevi fountain and a few other hidden and main sites. All in all a great morning on our second day.

Coliseum tour in Rome.

Our expensive tour of the coliseum was worth it. Learned a lot of history of this brutal place and enjoy our tour with 20 other people. We rest after by having a light dinner of beef carpaccio, and burrata plate with fresh focaccia bread plus three drinks. Overall an excellent afternoon and evening of our first full day in Rome.

First lunch in Rome

Our first day in Rome started with fresh pomegranate juice and fresh cut watermelon then a classic lunch of veal prosciutto meatballs, carbonara and a salad in a nearby restaurant. You can literally run into a good Italian pasta or pizza place any direction we walked. I usually check Google to make sure it's at least 4 stars rating. This one was Osteria la Quercia 4 min walk from us and delicious. We then walked around our area after lunch to see some nearby site. Nap was in order before our 4 pm tour of the coliseum. That's the next post

TAP Portugal business class

First time flying TAP Portugal business class with layflat bed and very good food and snacks. It was a bit turbulent but I slept at least 4-5 hours out of the 10 hour journey
