Rome Colosseum

Our first site was the Colosseum which had a huge lineup as it was Easter weekend. Well worth it as they had some great displays of Roman armour. We were also able to see some of the restored flooring and seating at the far end. The kids learned that it was built on Neros old palace and they used to flood the arena in order to stage mock naval battles.

    You were in Rome for Easter? Sounds like perfect planning to me - what an experience!!
    I'm following your journey, the blogs are wonderful, what an amazing adventure. There must be a book in there somewhere. Happy Birthday, Kathy - I've been thinking of you!
    Love, Deni
