Early start as we had a three hour tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum.\u00a0\u00a0 We followed that with a visits to the Capitoline Museum and the Capuchin Crypt on Via Veneto.\u00a0 Finished the night with dinner in Piazza Navona.<\/p>\n

I have to admit that I have never done this much running around on a vacation and I am not sure how I am going to handle the next final days in Istanbul on my own.<\/p>\n

Funny story of the night:\u00a0 me, Derek, John and Sinjin on our way to Piazza Navona veered onto a small side street of antiques shops.\u00a0 Something catches my eye in one particular store and as I lean closer to look, my head crashes against the clearest glass windows I have ever seen (or not seen in this case).\u00a0 I played it cool and thankfully no one in the group saw or heard it (which is surprising since I hit hard enough to break the glass).\u00a0 However, Derek wasn’t so luck as he did exactly the same thing one minute later…we all saw it and, of course, offered him zero sympathy and countless laughs.\u00a0 At least I received verification that it was the clearest glass I had ever (not) seen.<\/p>\n

Not many good photos from the day but I do have a few:<\/p>\n
