Well Rome was exhausting that's for sure. On the first day we took the train from Civitaveccia to Rome and started at the Vatican. We got there early which was nice because the lines were short. We wandered the Vatican for a bit then we went to get gelato. My new favorite flavor is Bacio, it's chocolate with whole hazelnuts mixed in.
We hopped on the metra and headed to the Spanish steps. It was unbearably hot, no matter how much water I drank I still felt dehydrated. We walked to the Trevino fountain and it was very crowded and under construction/restoration. We found a cute little cafe for lunch and I had a amazing salad. We got back on the metra and made it to our hostel for check in around 3. The hostel was so nice and clean. I also felt very safe. We ha a private room and bathroom. We cooled down and relaxed and then left for the Colosseum in the early evening. The metra is so easy to work in Rome and also very affordable!
We found a small restaurant for dinner and had pizza. We headed back to the hostel which was only 10 minutes from the Colosseum. The hostel was in a v diverse part of Rome. It was like the China Town of Rome. Lots of people and shops from different cultures, mostly from Asian decent.
Day two in Rome we stayed in the diverse part of town in the morning and tried to find there local market. We couldn't find the market so we made our way to the train station to go back to Civitaveccia. In Civitaveccia we went to the farmers markets and found another gelato shop with the best gelato of Italy yet.
Today I am exploring Pompeii. Naples seems scary and dirty.
