Rome is ruined!!!

A wander around the Roman Forum. It is incredible, to see what remains from so long ago, and they are still excavating!


























It was Benny's idea of course, to throw himself down the stairs - a lady walking next to us liked it so much she snapped a photo of him too!!!

I must admit, we did get a little lost in the Roman Forum and the Palentino Hill (which is where the whose-who of the Roman Empire built their posh palaces - in fact, the word 'palace' actually derives from the Palentino Hill in Rome - bit of interesting information for you) it felt like we were wandering around for about three days, but it was probably about three hours. We were so happy when we found our way out, back to the modern day with toilets and running water and cheap tacky souvenir stalls (we got you all presents!) and even the Umbrella Sellers, phew!

Love
