Rome day three and a midnight train (day 10)

On our last day in rome we woke up early again, to shower (since we knew we would be sleeping on the train that night) got breakfast and then set out for our last day. Our train left at midnight that night so we had saved a lot of stuff we knew we wanted to do in Rome for the last day so we didn't end up board in the train station for a million hours. So after we ate breakfast we realized it was pouring outside so we kinda took our time getting ready. Once we were ready we took our luggage down stairs to check out and leave our bags in their baggaget room. We were off to the colosseum! 



It kind of sucks because we have noticed they do all their construction and upkeep of these things in the winter, but it was still amazing to see. We went on the first and second floors and then saw people standing on what was left of the stage. Kody wanted so bad to get on it and to go in the underground tunnels, because his grandparents had done it! We walked around forever trying to see how we got there and finally someone said it was 100 euros a person to go in those two places and that was just too much, so we said we would have to come back. That's when we walked out of the colosseum, and out of no where it was a down pour. Not a sprinkle to a rain to a pour just went straight to pour. It was freezing and our shoes and socks were instantly soaked. So we ran for the metro and took it back to our hop on and off bus to ride around the city while it calmed down. When it finally did we headed to Palatine hill. It was so huge and the old architecture was amazing!!!! And when we got to the top the view was amazing!!! (Minus the construction) 


We explored this area for about 2.5 hours killing time and looking at every part we could. That's when the wind got very annoying and Kody found it hilarious. 


This was me walking around for a good 45 minutes and couldn't see. After we finished the hill we once AGAIN went to super pizza for lunch :) and rode to this amazing island with a church and some restaurant on it. Where there river parted around. The river flow was so great it was crazy and apparently had knocked down the same bridge after being re built three times!! We also watched a Morgue truck show up and pick ups body....that was really creepy! Then we headed to our hotel because we had done everything we could! Then we thought, where could we get stuff to drink have wifi and eat some good food...HARD ROCK CAFE we only paid for one Pepsi and ended up with two glasses with like 6 refills, got two salads and the appetizer sample. It was  an amazing 3 hours lol. Then we headed to our hotels here we sat bored because we still had an hour and the train station was literally across the street and we would rather be here then there. Well then kody said I should check the ticket...where I found we were not leaving from the trains station we arrived (the one across the street) but the one more across town that was under construction and hard to get around. Whoops had the hotel call us a cab to take us so we weren't late. Got there in perfect time and got on the train. We were on this train for 7 hours during the night and it wasn't a bed it was chairs that faced the person across you with 6 people in one room weird. Totally uncomfortable and was hard to sleep so that was an amazing night. 


Nice day 1 coming soon! 

Jo and Ko!
