Landscapes of Roma (and some pictues of Tivoli)

Well today was a bit of a bust as far as our "out of Roma" sight seeing was concerned.  We did go to Tivoli, but in all the research I did and of the only two destinations I researched, none of the research revealed the very critical piece of information that one of them is closed on Mondays.  To rub salt into the wounds, we tried for around 30 minutes to find a car park close to the first venue to no avail, so parked a couple of hundred metres away.  Naturally when we got back to where the venue was, there were plenty of empty spaces.  We did get a photo of the outside of the Villa d'Este though, nice name plates.

Finding Hadrian's Villa or Villa Adrianna as it is also known was also problematic, by this time we gave up after getting some nice photos in Tivoli and decided to return to Roma.

In hindsight it was a good thing as it gave us a chance to go for a wander down vias reminiscing on the great times we have had in Roma, have lunch just of the Corso at a street cafe, and then wander back through vias we have not wandered before.  We also managed to get into the Pantheon finally to take some more photographs.  To be honest though we are all sightseed out now.  We took the opportunity to take some photographs of things from different perspectives before returning to the apartment for a rest.  Back to Cafe Normale for dinner tonight before a final pack of everything to go home.

This will be our last posting until we get home to Brisbane.  We hope everyone has enjoyed reading our adventures.

Enjoy the pictures and Ciao.
