The Big Kahuna
Yup, the Colosseum, Forum and Palantine Hill.
When I was here in ‘01, with daughter in tow, this was all free, except for entrance to the Colosseum. Now, you pay 12E for the privilege of a walk thru. Even had to go through a security check. Shit.
This was our first sight upon stepping out of the Metro station.
We skipped the Colosseum, as we had all seen it before. And trust me, it hasn’t changed.
We climbed up to Palatine Hill, where the emperors used to hang their togas. Pretty impressive and great views of Rome. Brother in law Steve took this panorama of the Roman Forum, from atop Palantine Hill.
After three hours, we needed fuel. What to eat in Rome? Chinese food. With a Tsingtao. Now you’re talking... !
