We've seen it - the Coliseum that is

Caesar's last stand

It will not be the last look at the place, it's an eerie feeling looking at something that is nearly 2,000 years old. But well worth it. After finding the way to tomorrow's start point - it's a daytrip to Pompeii, we went for a tour on a doubledecker bus and saw, fleetingly, the Coliseum. We navigated the bus system and public transit and feel confident about getting where we have to go. At the end of the streetcar route we found ourselve in Largo Argentina. Apparently in the 20s Mussolini decide to go excavating and after evicting hundreds of Romans from their homes he found four temples and a part of the Senate, local lore tells of the place being where Julius Caesar was stabbed - another fascinating tale.

Took 174 pics, some of which will end up in the slide show if I can ever make it work.

Tomorrow is a trip to Pompeii and Naples and is a late return so the post may be late.
