This tour cost 10euro which was a bargain. It was only 20 mins before that I was saying to a couple of Canadians that I wont be drawn into a guided tour like every one else. As you know it here I was doing just that. I'm glad I did as the tour covered the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum and was very informative. Not only that when going into the Colosseum you don't get caught up with the crowds queuing.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsEulNjMIaBQ6u6a78hryYOFgRUmyL7rKZVDttTtYASbJ4pojwKdMOrt4xCF1SCZXnS7YAQrymzGylMMV030ZaJBdGJNgnSjjbn9t3RpUZxf6zdeCKaXUipt7hRQEDcs-kVnK660F3VM/s1600-h/P1070422+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsEulNjMIaBQ6u6a78hryYOFgRUmyL7rKZVDttTtYASbJ4pojwKdMOrt4xCF1SCZXnS7YAQrymzGylMMV030ZaJBdGJNgnSjjbn9t3RpUZxf6zdeCKaXUipt7hRQEDcs-kVnK660F3VM/s320/P1070422+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387897450526658578" border="0" /></a>Ruin on Palatine Hill.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxQjIvzfcKnCHxXzPAVGsxs3FUEAynKev1ZbcNJQG9i8EnoEbRWDBlK11eJDPhUzehIs5z9HHBI3ioQZrAjOJaCr0A27YZi7BKdRIrv6f1g9oSSzgW7bjQkybxFGpbJenc-pxjovTlZk/s1600-h/P1070427+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxQjIvzfcKnCHxXzPAVGsxs3FUEAynKev1ZbcNJQG9i8EnoEbRWDBlK11eJDPhUzehIs5z9HHBI3ioQZrAjOJaCr0A27YZi7BKdRIrv6f1g9oSSzgW7bjQkybxFGpbJenc-pxjovTlZk/s320/P1070427+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387897445081186946" border="0" /></a>The Colosseum from Palatine Hill.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTFp_NrkwROwxu7fQvmsuuztdwXgI81O-ApK5qO3IFEHszt0j87OVU7KRxdxoc8UqNwXGe7zs333lEa853XQQ85_A3FyKgHixoNi4kQhfbUO2UfJMaxK8dZ7q9NagCASjzzBZ1Yy-Mfo/s1600-h/P1070449+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTFp_NrkwROwxu7fQvmsuuztdwXgI81O-ApK5qO3IFEHszt0j87OVU7KRxdxoc8UqNwXGe7zs333lEa853XQQ85_A3FyKgHixoNi4kQhfbUO2UfJMaxK8dZ7q9NagCASjzzBZ1Yy-Mfo/s320/P1070449+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387897441891675138" border="0" /></a>The Temple of Saturn, Forum.<br />Underneath this temple held Romes treasury.<br />Here's another informative link about the forum.<br /><a href="http://www.roman-empire.net/tours/rome/forum-romanum.html">http://www.roman-empire.net/tours/rome/forum-romanum.html</a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEU5qfznaTO7IfCEYLRiJJ36njow5DBJDWMLpKOEMfz2BUnyCKHeMq-Y64YTBQzZMn6JexWe6tXqQBeMw8l5yw-ntX1hSDf6GOblcCnOewnZ4G9rE-51FSlCZJdfvtd_36t2zcJEQr6SM/s1600-h/P1070454+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEU5qfznaTO7IfCEYLRiJJ36njow5DBJDWMLpKOEMfz2BUnyCKHeMq-Y64YTBQzZMn6JexWe6tXqQBeMw8l5yw-ntX1hSDf6GOblcCnOewnZ4G9rE-51FSlCZJdfvtd_36t2zcJEQr6SM/s320/P1070454+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387897440089646162" border="0" /></a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitoline_Wolf" title="Capitoline Wolf">Capitoline Wolf</a> suckles the infant twins <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus" title="Romulus and Remus">Romulus and Remus</a>.<br />For those who don't know Romulus and Remus where brothers who founded Roma.<br />Romulus kill Remus over territorial control of the city.<br />Which was then sited on Palatine Hill.<br />More of the story can be found in the links provided. <br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFoPiOyTmAlEJHVfVDQ3kvjLKjqX1t-4xTMX8caN92ZhS-o6-5aO-Kti_yq36DbdTQxGj-1ykgrTnGeZMbaye6kyl1qbYcwdW6xzws47SEfr1mbS2FNvdXpwtNku4DwHLxaVb_3KlheQg/s1600-h/P1070463+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFoPiOyTmAlEJHVfVDQ3kvjLKjqX1t-4xTMX8caN92ZhS-o6-5aO-Kti_yq36DbdTQxGj-1ykgrTnGeZMbaye6kyl1qbYcwdW6xzws47SEfr1mbS2FNvdXpwtNku4DwHLxaVb_3KlheQg/s320/P1070463+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387897428115652642" border="0" /></a>Wow!!

Day 2 Roma I got up fairly early to head to the Vatican. During the last Sunday of every month the Vatican is open to the public for free. Yippy! what timing for me. Not only that it was a weekend for European Heritage, which most places I visited where free. Something to remember if you are heading to Rome.
