When we last visited Rome we wandered around freely; there was so much to see and day bus tickets are a waste of money as everywhere is within walking distance.
Our trip to Rome this time, once again on the train from Orvieto, awakened our memories. It was a bit of a shock to see that the Forum now charges an entry fee. There were not the same amount of tourists in the enclosed area. We sat and rested our weary legs at the entrance gate and then we espied a notice saying that European pensioners have free entry. With free tickets it seemed even more exciting to walk over ancient pathways!
We were truly shattered by the time we arrived back at our motorhome but it had been a very enjoyable day. Rome is still magic.
