Then it was back to walking along the river, past Isola Tiberina (an island in the middle of Fume Tevere) then a walk past all of the old roman ruins up to the Colosseo (the Colosseum).

When I was walking around the Colosseo the feet started to protest, the soles of my feet were starting to burn and I still had a little bit more to see as I started northwards on my way back to the hotel. But it was so easy to ignore the onset of two club feet when there is so much incredible architecture and history to take in.
As I walked along Via dei Fori Imperiali towards the Colonna Tralana and Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II I was able to see many of the magnificent roman ruins on the left hand side of the road.

So it was back to the hotel.....20 minutes later I was back in the room telling Lesley everything I had seen, oh and about my sore feet...hmm, no sympathy for self inflicted pain, but what a day!!
