Touring Rome
So I got a refund for the taxi from the Hotel staff without even raising my voice, still have to complain about all the cell phone minutes I had to waste from last night. Anyways today we went for a full fledged walking tour across Rome. We visited lots of places like the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevie Fountain, and went to some museums. I was also exposed to the crazy marketplaces in Rome, but was able to find some really good deals. Other than that, the walking was quite tiring but so far this has been my most enjoyable day in Rome! We had to really scramble in the night though because our checkout for Holiday Inn was tomorrow and we still needed to stay in Rome! The Holiday Inn we were staying at was actually increasing there price on by nearly 50% tomorrow so that’s why I had only booked it for these 3 nights. So then I frantically looked for hotels and every place I called was full. We still didn’t have internet working but I bought a car to access the Internet at a kiosk in the hotel. I was able to find a Best Western (which isn’t in the phonebook for some reason!) that was actually cheaper than here but I doubt they’ll have the same great accommodations I’ve had here. Anyways that’s pretty much the whole day – Rome is so awesome and there are so many nice places to visit!!!
