All Roads Lead to Rome

Yes, we made it!
With a nice exciting coach ride into the centre of town we managed to spot a few distinguishing ruins of the old empire littering the joint, which hopefully we'll have more time to check out during our stay.
On our walk to the 'Time Machine' we had a chance for a lovely snack and then for our adventure through time on a Virtual Simulator showing us the best bits of Rome's extensive history.
Another walk from there led us to the Trevi Fountain where we battled the heaving throng of tourists and hawkers for a stunning picture or two of this magnificent structure.
Then it was off to dinner in Trastevere, and once everyone was finally herded into the restaurant (which was quite a novelty in itself with all its hanging washing decor) we tucked into some Bruschetta and Pasta.
Our next challenge was getting back to the hotel on public transport of trams and buses, a success even if by accident :)

PS. cold morning showers...not so cool
