Siena - Assisi - Rome

Spent an hour visiting the Basilica of St-Francis which houses the tomb  of St- Francis of Assisi and lots of frescos. Raining. Lunch at roadside cafe.
Arrived in Rome at around 3 pm, dropped bags and started our big walk around Rome. Walked first to Spanish Steps then down to the river where we had brushetta, birra and chips. Piazza Navona was our next stop and probably our favourite place so far. In the piazza we saw many beautiful buildings fountains and statues. The plaza is surrounded by restaurants where we ate dinner with a South African couple. We then walked to the Pantheon and on to the Trevi Fountain.  The fountain was very crowded but we managed to find a spot on the edge and took many pictures. The fountain was much bigger than I expected. Taxi back to Hotel Beverly Hills.

  1. We went to that church. It was really lovely from memory.
    Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I love Rome. Enjoy your time there. Do they still have Audrey Hepburn souvenirs all over Rome?
