Team Toad Med 2004: Rome
Med > Flight | Barcelona | Ship | Marseilles | Nice | Pisa | Rome | Napoli | Herculaneum | Athens | Other Ships


Our longest day was Wednesday, when we docked in Cittavechia, site of an ancient Roman port. From there we boarded a tour bus for the 90 minute ride into Rome.

This was a very long day, but we had laid out three sight seeing goals:

The bus dropped us off in front of Saint Peter's Square, and we headed off towards the Pantheon. There we stopped for a lunch at a cafe in Il Piazza del Rotunda, and found that sitting down in Rome is very expensive.

After a brief walk around the interior of the Pantheon (what an awesome building), we headed for Trevi Fountain, where we all threw coins in the fountain. That is supposed to guarantee a return to Rome. The kids all threw two coins each, which means they will get married in Rome.

We stopped for ice cream and then dragged the kids another mile through the Roman Forum to see the Colliseum. There we relented and took a taxi back to the Vatican to wait for the tour bus.

We ate more ice cream and waited until it was time for the 90 minute ride back to the ship.
