Arriving at our hotel around 14:00 we unpacked and caught the hotel’s shuttle service to the City Centre. Armed with just a map from the concierge, an umbrella and a tour book we hit the streets of Rome. With no clue as to where we were being dropped off we were led by out own innate “Oooo that looks old/neat let’s go there” ability and strolled past the Forum, the Colosseum, The Arch of Constantine and eventually ending up at the Pantheon.
We had dinner at a little sidewalk bistro that faced the Pantheon and watched the crowds walk by. Afterwards, we visited Giolitti’s which is considered to be one of Rome’s most famous “gelateria” (gelato or Italian ice cream shop), and as the Pope as my witness it was the best freakin’ ice cream I’ve ever eaten.
Di Saronno Amaretto and dark chocolate. I highly recommend some today.
It is all about the food, right?
