Italy, Day 5, Florence / Rome

Trevi Fountain


This morning the weather was a lot better, and with over 12 hours of sleep, we were both quite refreshed. As normal we started our morning the same way as the locals, by finding a small coffee shop and having some coffee and something to eat.

As it was our last morning in Florence, and the weather was a lot better, we walked around the area. Today everything seemed much nicer, we walked quite a distance and stopped for a few coffees along the way before heading back to the hotel to check out and head to the train station.

The trip to Rome was only 1h40, and was really nice to see the countryside. We found our hotel called Hotel Panda, which is right near the Spanish Steps. Carla found it in the Lonely Planet guide and it looks really nice.
The Pantheon

After checking in we walked around and saw some of the sights, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and a few others that we are not sure of.

We had an early dinner and my first pizza in Italy that I have not really enjoyed. I was considering giving the place a second chance, but Carla said that if a pizza place in Italy cannot make a pizza properly, then they don’t deserve a second chance, maybe she is right.
