I woke up to a beautiful day of sunshine - perfect to sit on an open-top hop-on hop-off bus to explore the city.
I got off the bus at the Colosseum, built in 80AD and can only be described as imposing (as was the length of the queue to enter, fortunately I joined a tour group to skip it & learn about the beast of a structure).
The tour then took us to the Forum - a plaza surrounded by ruins of ancient government buildings, with a beautiful view over the city. As the oldest part of Rome, some of the buildings date back to the 8th century BC.
Entering VATICAN CITY
You can keep your Colosseums and your Pantheons - they most important sighting of the day was this little guy, who looked awfully like my first cat Lucky. RIP.
