Day 2
Good morning from Rome!
Today was an exhilarating adventure, but in the best possible way. The group landed at Fiumicino Airport and were welcomed by the beautiful Roman sunshine. After reuniting with our whole group, we set off on a Roman Holiday for the books.
Our first stop? The famous Spanish Steps! We took some photos and then climbed the steps to enjoy the fantastic views of the city. Rome sprawled out before us like a living map - a sight to behold!Next, we navigated the lively streets of Corso del Popolo, eventually reaching the bustling Piazza Navona. While some of our group explored independently, a few of us went to see Caravaggio's masterpiece in another stunning church.
Buoyed by the experience, we made our way to the Trevi Fountain. To our surprise, there were no hordes of tourists in sight! We tossed our coins into the fountain, ensuring our return to this enchanting city and contributing to feeding the poor. On our way back to Piazza Navona, we took a look of the Pantheon, and its impressive dome left us awe-struck.
To cap off this incredible day, we enjoyed a delightful pasta dinner near Piazza Navona, the perfect treat after conquering the Roman hills. Finally, we took a leisurely stroll along the Tiber River to meet our driver, our legs a bit weary but our hearts filled with joy. Here's to many more adventures.
