Trip Day 25 – Saturday, August 4 – Rome, Italy
Borghese Park
What I LIKE
Pantheon
- nice hot coffee in room compliments of my amore
- noon walk through Borghese Park
- Via Veneto to pick up hop on bus
- stop @ Vatican for photo op
- hop off bus back @ Via Veneto for nice cold beer
- take nice long leisurely stroll to Pantheon & Piazza Navona
- continue on to Via Del Corso
- La Capricciosa – dinner of “you guessed it” – pizza, caprese salad & wine – this time a nice Barbera
- stroll back to hotel
- lots of shops open
- 8pm taxi to airport is only $60 Euro
- private car is $80 Euro & air conditioned!
- pre-paid Hilton Garden Inn – decent room only $130
What I DON’T LIKE
- sleeping @ airport hotels
- wasting sleeping time driving to airports in the morning (it’s a dilemma)
FF (FUN-fact) – Rome is filled with fountains that spill out fresh, cool water. Everyone stops to splash and cool down and fill their water bottles.
