Italy - Day 8 Rome

After breakfast today, our tour group left for home or other locations while we stayed behind. In the morning we went on a Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum tour. Even though these are all ruins, you can't help but be amazed by the architecture and skill of the builders of ancient Rome.

In the evening we went to a concert in All Saints Church put on by Three Italian Tenors.

 The Roman Forum (parts of it anyway). An amazing complex which has just recently been uncovered.
