Rome the second day

November 5th

Rome again! Today was the Forum and the Coliseum, need I say more? The entire area is being re-surveyed and worked on. There were several reas that were being currently excavated and unfortunately unavailable. You could spend several days here alone.We also met some people from another ship in port and we all tagged along together. We also managed to get the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps in before a fast taxi ride to the train station and our train back to the ship.






The floor of the coliseum and a view of the reconstructed floor.









The view from the other end. Very , very impressive



















It is REALLY big












An arena near the Forum









A general shot of the Forum. An ongoing archeological site it is huge. None of these pictures really gives the impact of the scale of the whole thing.
