After our Air Canada/US Airlines overnight flight from Charlotte, connecting through Toronto Canada, we arrived safely in Rome.
We quickly learned one does not get much sleep on an airplane or should we say comfortable sleep. We arrived around 11:00 am Tuesday morning Rome time which was 5:00 am back home. We took a train from the Airport to the main train station in Rome, Termini. It was a few blocks walk to the hotel, which we discovered was very nice, the rooms are large, and it is very clean. The weather on the first day was mostly sunny and comfortable.
These are a few pictures from our first day in Rome. The first picture was taken from the Forum, the old ruins of Rome from the time of the Caesar’s, and you can see the Colosseum in the background.
There is a picture of the Forum itself and the Trevi Fountain at night.
It was a long day, but we did actually get to see a lot.
