Yesterday was interesting, it started with a productive sleep in which we needed, then we planned to head to the Pantheon however we wanted to go to Trastevere a region that runs along the river which is full of restaurants, we planned to go there for lunch. As we live in the suburbs we found out there was an over ground train that took us straight there so we set out. We waited for our train and it never showed... 1 hour later...wondering what has happened to Romas so faithful transport system lol, then we clicked it was a Sunday does this mean they dont run? We studied the timetable and no nothing about Sundays, however it did say it did not run during a day of Jewish celebration. Was it our luck, we waited for another half hour to see if the next one showed and yes it did. Thankfully. Crazy City! It turned out this train did not take us to the lively part of Trastevere it took us to the scary part of Trastevere and luckly we meet an American with good knowledge on the train who told us not to get off there and to travel into the city and walk. Which we did especially once we saw the Suburb of Trastevere out the window of the train, ahhhhhh. We walked to the Pantheon amazing place and happy there was no line to got in, then wondered the streets seeing lots of cool things. Came across the nice Trastevere and found a resturant for Dinner, yum. Headed back to Accmmodation for a relaxing evening.
Our observations of roma
A city with such potnetial to be so stunning is distroyed by as Lorna described Dirty, Dirty, Dirty - i have never seen so much graffitti ever and A city with a pretty dodge Transport system
However if you look beyond these thinng Rome is really amazing with a truck load of history that has amazed both of us.
