Day 1: Rome

After leaving Melbourne we arrived in Rome at 7am tired but excited to start our long awaited holiday. After checking into our hotel we set off to explore the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.

I was not expecting the incredible engineering and workmanship that went into the Colosseum nor did I expect to be able to see so much of a Palace that existed for Emperor Augustus. Inside there are still some wall that have original art work that maintain much of their original variance of colour.

The next morning we travelled again into Rome and spent the morning discovering the many gardens and tourist locations.
