Crook in Rome

Mum has a cold, dad is sniffly too and my legs ache. This morning we took the car for it's last trip - to the airport drop off point. We also did our last wrong turn off which looked like a flower on the GPS screen. Anyway we made it safely and on time and it was a little sad to finally say goodbye to the car. We had done some 5000km in the car. I wish I had had a pedometer on me because it feels I've walked that far too. Today was no exception.

After taking the train back to Rome central we had a look for some new luggage bags and scales as mum has done a wee bit of shopping over this trip.



We then headed over to the Spanish Steps which like everything else was very popular.



There are lots of posh shops here but we headed up to the Borghese Gardens and Art Gallery instead. The gardens were open but the gallery was closed. It is Monday today.



After a meander, a gelato and a ride on the carousel



we headed back down the hill



towards the Spanish steps and walked to the Piazza di Popolo. It was very big and open.





Mum has been saying that Roma feels much more open than Florence, Venice or Siena. There are more piazzas and the streets are wider.
