We made it over to the Coloseum yesterday, and let me tell you, that place is awesome. Apparently it's "cultural week" here in Rome, which means that most of the big attractions - including The Colosseum - are free! Hows that for good timing. They seem to be fixing up a small section of the building to its former glory, so you can see what it would have been like back in the day.
We also checked out Palatines Hill which is full of ruins etc and a lot of Roman history happened up there e.g. Caesar was cremated there etc. Unfortunately we couldn't find any pamphlet around with info about what the individual ruins were, so most of the time we were just kinda looking and guessing...
Well I gotta go... off to The Vatican today...
