roma capitale

i have to start by saying that rome is ridiculous. the sheer scale of every building is out of this world. rome has exceeded my every expectation! 

got up this morning intending to go to the vatican but decided i didn't have enough time. instead i managed to get to rather a few of rome's main tourist attractions.
                    spanish steps

                 fontana di trevi

                   panteon

the thing that have i loved most about walking around this city is that with every street you walk down you are surprised by yet another gorgeous church or monument that wasn't noted on your map. even mcdonalds are housed behind historical facades! on the topic of food - finding it super hard to eat healthily when lots of places don't have anything fresh on the menu!! ignoring the desire to be healthy, i think i'm going to have to add ice cream in every country to my bracelet in every country goal! today i tried a must have - a tartufo ice cream (before you get excited mum it looks like a tartufo, but it's most definitely chocolate). no judging... i only managed 5 bites before i put it in the bin! 

had enough time to make it down to the colosseum, but going to have to wait until i come back to go in - the queues were a mile long!

about to leave my hostel to head to split. bring on croatia!!
