Italy tour 2014 - Rome day 3 (part 1)

Sat 2014/09/20

Day 3
25,462 steps
walked 19.606 km
burned 1131.4 kcal

Three day total, 56.515 km.
An average of 18.84 km per day!


Day 3 started with a walk through the park grounds of Villa Borghese and to the highly recommended Museo e Galleria Borghese.

But since I did not book tickets early online, was turned away at the ticket counter as tickets were sold out for the next four days!

So flagged down a taxi and off to the Colosseo or Colosseum or Coliseum (or also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre or Anfiteatro Flavio).










Walking up and down those steep stairs takes energy.

And what better way to replenish one's strength but to enjoy "slow food" at a beautiful little Italian trattoria.

Excellent!
> CROSTINO DI CICORIA, MOZZARELLA DI BUFALA E ALICI
> BUCATINI CAV.GIUSEPPE COCCO ALL’AMATRICIANA O ALLA GRICIA
> (pictured below) RAVIOLI DI CICORIA E PECORINO CON POMODORI CANDITI






So with my belly full, head over to the Foro Romano or the Roman Forum, a huge rectangular plaza including several ruins of ancient Rome.






Day 3 continues ...
