Rome, Day 2 (31 Aug)...

...turned out to be a very quiet day. Despite planning all sorts, we ended up staying at base. Slept late, had breakfast, did some preparatory reading, visited with Delina.

Here's Buffy and Angel, eyeing James' lunch!


Delina then spoilt us by taking us out to dinner at Campo di Fiori, a lively square thats boasts a market during the day, and entertainers and musicians at night.

We first took a peek at Piazza Farnese, just south of Campo di Fiore, where the French embassy is, then took a wander around Campo di Fiore.



Rome already feels completely different to Firenze to me. More space, more different time periods in its architecture. Maybe it's because the Italian summer holiday is now ending, and the locals are back from the seaside, but the population feels more real - less tourists, more Italians.

Dinner was very yummy, at a small restaurant on the edge of the square. We chatted, we enjoyed the musicians, we ate, we watched the acrobats.





After dinner we got some Ferrero Rocher gelato at the Blue Ice stand. Delicious!



Then walked over to Piazza Navona with its beautiful fountains, and street artists. There's some fantastic work here for very affordable prices.
