Arrival in Rome, Italy

We arrived from Toronto in Rome on June 15.  We had a full day and night to enjoy the city before flying across the Adriatic to Montenegro.

We took shuttle bus from our hotel which was about 30 minutes outside Rome and started near the Vatican in a suburb of Rome called Cipro.

We walked the city until 5pm that day.  It was very hot but worth it to enjoy this famous city.

We enjoyed walking through the Vatican and St. Peter's Square, Piazza Navona, Campo Fiori, and along the river.

We had a fabulous lunch in Campo Fiori and stopped twice for Gelato.  

                St. Petersburg Square in Vatican City with the Basilica behind us

                 
Piazza Navona famous for its 3 fountains

  Lunch in Campo Fiori where the locals like to eat and there is a famous market behind Rob where we bought some Pesto with Truffles

  Beautiful views walking along the river and respite from the heat
