ITALY - DAY 9

We toured Cortona one last time on our last day before we made our way south to Rome. We drove about 2 hours south to Rome and had a special night tour of the Roman forum and the Colosseum at night.  There are only a handful of people allowed in the Colosseum at night so it was really neat to be inside when it was totally empty...you could almost hear the lions and chariots!




















 Vatican in Rome












 Roman Forum




 Forum of Julis Caesar

 Colosseum underground where manual elevators would lift beasts up to the stadium floor for the gladiator battles













 Cannoli Anyone?
 
We took a wrong turn and ran into the Vatican on the way out of Rome.
