It's
been a magical, wonderful trip to Rome and a big bucket list tick. I
went with my best friend Isobel. 40 years ago we met in a flat share
in Balham, south London and have been besties ever since so we felt
it was the right thing to mark the event with a special holiday to
see the history and art of the Eternal City. Since studying art
history at school I've always wanted to see the Sistine Chapel. And
I've always wanted to see the Roman ruins.
In five
days of a Bunty got-to-see-everything tour we 'did' Vatican Museum
(the Sistine Chapel didn't disappoint),Vatican, Colosseum, Forum,
Palatine, Pantheon, Castle San Angelo, Museo Borghese and the over
hyped (IMHO) Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, walked everywhere and
ate pasta and pizza to maintain our energy. Fan-bloody-tastic.
