26 Feb on the way to and Rome for 24 hours

Up early for a 10am train from Florence to Rome, lovely countryside along the way. Checked in at Rome Times Hotel, stayed here nearly 3 years ago, lovely hotel not far from everything. Found our way back to the Trevi fountain, we must’ve been directionally challenged last time as it was very easy. Stopped off for a snack at Caffe Trevi. Shoals of tourists have been replaced by tribes of school children. Started a new game: Where’s Weiry! Small things!
Strolled around to the Pantheon, missed it last time, quite amazing as well as stunning. The floor is interesting as it slopes outwards from the centre, not sure that was a BC thing or later renovation AD. Ambled on via side streets & the forum area to the hotel & now Mandy is whining, sorry, wining in the smoking atrium while Pearl Jam, Pumpkins & Jeff Buckley (so far) & Wilco & Radiohead (update) are serenading me over the house music. Around the corner for dinner, old faithful, then bed as we’re flying back to Bangkok tomorrow, & heat & 3 days of not running around.
