The last leg begins

Today we took the last drive in the car to Roma! Three cheers to Chris for doing the majority of the driving - especially in Italy where the roads are crazy and busy - he has done a marvelous job of getting us around safely.
After dropping off the hire car we had to make our way via bus to the centre of Rome and then on foot to our accomodation. We are staying in a groovy little B&B which is close to many of the famous monuments (all within a 2km walk).
Seriously - if you ever need help to book accomodation ask Chris to help you with the research. The places we have stayed have all been fabulous, interesting and within budget!
So after a little rest (and an espresso from the machine in our room!) we walked to the Colloseum and took a tour and a wander around. It is HUGE and amazing.
Tomorrow is a holiday/celebration day in Italy - something to do with republic day (?) so we are not sure what to expect but we are thinking our last leg of the trip in Rome is going to be great, while at the same time we are getting very excited about coming home.
