Rome - Day 2 - Part 3
Friday, August 31, 2012The Pantheon
The Pantheon has the best preserved, with the biggest brick dome in the history of architecture. The Pantheon is also a national Mausoleum and the resting place of the Italian Royal family.
A simple request to take picture with the roman soldiers turned out to be a rip off! We paid around €10.00 for pictures taken with our camera! No wonder, he directed our posing!
Interior of the Pantheon. Overwhelmed by the huge space!
Trevi Fountain
We went on to our next destination - Trevi Fountain. Another must-see in Rome. There is this tradition that when you throw a coin over your shoulder into the water, you will sure return to Rome! Hmmm. Dh and I are perfect testimony to that! LOL! We threw again this time....another 10 years later perhaps? Anyway, the Trevi coins go towards a good cause - to feed Rome's poor. What have you got to lose?
St. Anastasius Church which is located near the fountain.
Spanish Steps
After the charming Trevi Fountain, we went on to see the monumental stairway.
Charmed by this lovely cuckoo clock shop on our way back. It's really lovely and we took turns taking pictures with the Pinocchio to end the day!
