** HISTORICAL POST** Been sitting in draft for months...
Another day, another train. We checked out of the hotel and made a vow never to return to Naples. We negotiated our train ride and finally got on. We sat with a woman from Seattle who was traveling Europe for two months. We arrived into Rome and made our way to the metro. A short ride to the Cipro stop and then a taxi got us to the Hilton, paradise compared to Naples. The room was at least three times bigger! We also had access to the executive lounge filled with goodies all day long! After a beverage, we set out to see Rome. The shuttle took up from the hotel to piazza Barberini. We made our way to the colosseum through numerous old buildings, ruins, and archeological sites. The line into the colosseum was very short and only took a few minutes to get tickets. We spent about an hour "documenting" the site. As we were leaving, it started to rain. We walked toward the Palatine and bought an umbrella. It rained the entire hour we were in the Palatine. We exited to the forum and walked to Trevi fountain. We grabbed some pizza, that was not good, and walked to the shuttle for the hotel. Once back, we headed for the lounge for some tasty snacks and desserts. We ended the day in a sugar coma.
