We had already visited the Colosseum on Friday, but with the holiday crowd, we did not go in.
We woke early to get a jump on everyone else, only had to wait a short while.
It really is the vastness of the whole thing that impresses. Every brick and tile was mortared by hand, no pre-form casting involved.
The sub arena area was covered in a beautiful green moss, but, of course no one can walk down there, otherwise the moss would die.
Afterwards, we went up to the Spanish Steps at Trinità dei Monti, not much to say, it is just a wide stairway that has a bunch of flowers planted there. Also the church was closed due to repairs.
Later, I walked to the train station to see about getting the train to the airport the next morning. I noticed a bus outside with a sign stating airport runs for only 4 euro, much less than the 28 euro I paid to get into the city on the train, plus the bus left every 25 minutes and was outside, no long lines to get to the right platform.
I think it was also faster than the train also.
