Day 100 April 15, 2015. Civitavecchia ( Rome). Italy

We always want to explore Roma on our own; in that case, taking the train is be the best option: the train station is an easy 10-minute walk from the port entrance. Civitavecchia is an industrial port and requires a shuttle from where the ship docks to the port entrance. To find the train station, simply exit the port entrance and then cross the street where the crosswalk is to where a newsstand is across on the other corner, turn right and follow this street (parallel to the coastline) till you are at the station.
The ride into Rome takes just about an hour to get to the first stop in Rome, St. Peters Basilica. Or stop at Roma Termini where all hop on/off sightseeing buses start their itinerary.
In the Eternal City of Rome, we love to explore some of the world's most famous churches, monuments and fountains: the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain (toss a coin in the fountain to ensure your return). Sip cappuccino at a cafe in a piazza or window-shop among the high-fashion boutiques of Via Condotti. Walking the streets of Rome is wonderful. You can walk or take a taxi or subway to the Colosseum, this is a great place to start your tour of Rome. You can almost picture the animals and gladiators in the small rooms underneath the Colosseum floor. Across the street from the Colosseum is the ancient Roman Forum. You can walk the same streets as the ancient mRoman citizens. Using a detailed map of the city, you can walk to the Trevi Fountain from the Forum. Every visitor to Rome wants to see this fountain and dispose of some loose change. The Trevi Fountain is fed with water from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and was completed in 1762. The area around the Trevi Fountain will be crowded, so be sure to protect your belongings. You might want to enjoy a gelato and do a little people watching. That's what we do.
