Day 43 Rome

10 June
In order to beat the crowds we got up early and walked to the Colosseum. We got there just after opening time and got in without too much waiting. We hired an audioguide to take us around the building. On the same ticket we also got into the Roman forum which is a large area with ruins of ancient government buildings. After lunch we went back to the pantheon to look inside (we didn't go in yesterday as part of the walking tour). It is one of Rome's best preserved buildings with a big opening to the sky in the middle of the dome.
For dinner Alistair made ravioli with a tomato sauce and chicken cordon bleu (very spoilt with 2 home cooked meals by Alistair, I will need to cook soon I'm sure!)
