Our first thoughts in Rome, Italy... My dad, stoked to have found Coke. Me, overwhelmed and a little nervous from having driven like 80mph all the way to our hostel. (Literally down the middle of 2 roads!)
We took off from London this morning at 5am (!) and headed straight to Rome. We arrived off the plane around 10:30, and took a psycho shuttle bus to our hostel. We decided to spend the day walking around and taking in all of Rome. We spent about 5 hours walking around the majority of Rome, and it was amazing! Here are some great photos we captured along the way:
