Rome - hotel to the Forum and back
On Saturday morning, the tour bus dropped us off at a hotel on the Via Vitt. Veneto for "Rome on your own". We walked to the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and past the Forum headed for the Coliseum.
The famous Spanish Steps Italian police (?) complete with swords and capes
We stopped in a small church on a side street - Oratorio del Sanctissimo Sancto.
The Creche in the Oritorio
The Trevi Fountain is jammed in a square - and the lighting was bad. Dave tossing a coin into Trevi Fountain.
