From Sienna Nate and I took an approximate 2 1/2 hour train ride to Rome. We arrived before check-in at the hostel but they allowed us to just leave our bags there. We grabbed a map and headed out to check out the city. Rome ended up being one of my favorite places. Sure we had to be on high alert for pickpocketing, but as long as you are cautious and smart with your stuff it wasn't a problem. Our first stop was the Colosseum. We had purchased the Roma pass which included unlimited public transportation and free admission to a couple museums. We used our pass to cut to the front of the line and walked around the ancient building. It was amazing to stand inside this history-filled place.
From the Colosseum we walked around the Forum, or the ancient downtown which basically consists of ruins now. We did a LOT of walking in the three days spent in Rome. But every street has tons of history and we didn't want to miss anything. That night we went to Hard Rock Cafe Rome. We waited a long time but it was worth it. The food was delicious...a type we hadn't eaten in a long time (good ole' American!?) When we returned to the hostel all of our roommates were already sleeping, so we awkwardly got ready for bed as quietly as we could to ready for another fun-filled day!
