From the beautiful city of Barcelona, we flew over to Rome to visit the capital of the old Roman Empire. Apart from the incredible number of tourists which made it sometimes uncomfortable, it is still an amazing old city . From the Colloseum, to Plaza Venezia, Via Corso , Plaza Navona , Trevi Fountain and The Spanish Steps, and not to forget Vatican City with St Peter's square and the Basilica . If you love history , you will certainly love Roma !
A day trip to Napoli & Pompey
We were surprised at how big the old city of Pompey was , and it is amazing that it was built by the Greeks 700 BC, long before the Roman's invaded and placed their mark on the old city. It was a very advanced civilization with plumbing, well planned roads, shops and residential areas. But it was a bit daunting to see the Vesuvius Volcano towering over the City , to think that it was responsible for its destruction.
