Day 6 The Catatombs 11 November

Travelled to the catatombs by taxi and joined a tour. A bit ordinary, but the grounds were lovely. We did have some trouble flagging down a taxi to get back into Rome, but finally managed to find one and on our way, hey Mike!

Yes, that's me in the distance. My bf must think I take a better photo from that far back, lol. We walked all the way down this road, down another road, turned around and came back up this road, took another path, just to get back to where we were at the end of this road! Story of my life while travelling with my bf.... but still luv ya Mike xx

Back in Rome and off to see the Spanish Steps. Yep, he was ordered to go to the top so I could get a photo from the street.

Made it!

....my turn

A short walk up the road and we arrived at the Piazza del Popolo 

Following this we just walked....and walked.....and walked. Here are a few more sites of Rome we saw on our walk.

The Palace of Justice

 Piazza Navona - This is the Fountain of Neptune

The modern piazza is a lively place, a place where both locals and tourists like to hang out. Artists gather in the sqaure to paint and there are many entertainers and vendors selling souvenirs. http://goitaly.about.com/od/romeitaly/ss/piazzanavona.htm

One more stop on the way back to the hotel was to buy a gelato! Can you believe we only had one the entire time we were in Italy! Unbelievable for someone that loves ice cream as much as I do. I think this is worth another visit, don't you?
