Day 2

Day 2 was a rushed day, visiting 3 cathedrals in the morning, namely saint paul's (paolo), St. Maria and St. Giovanni (John). They were all great, with amazing architecture and awe inspiring artwork. to be honest, they started to look the same halfway through. :P



This way from St Paul's Church outside the walls. (As it is situation almost directly outside the ancient city walls) note the foreboding clouds. It poured a thunderstorm later.

Lunch was near termini at a restaurant called "Il Brigantino", where I felt I had the best meal of the trip! The Pizza was so thin and so good, and the cheese in the calzone was simply divine. Great service as well!



The calzone- basically folded up pizza.



Pumpkin sauce based pizza.

It was to the world famous Trevi fountain after lunch. An extremely huge and striking fountain, it is perhaps the world's biggest wishing well. All coins are collected by the carabinieri every night and donated to the red cross as well! So throw with impunity!



The right way to throw- use your right hand and throw it over your left shoulder :hello2:

The pantheon was up after that- basically a church with a huge hole in the middle.



More gelato after Pantheon

My personal favourite of the many I've tried in Rome- Gelataria Frigidarium. The intense flavours with generous helpings make it a great treat





This was dark chocolate and biscotti flavour- half eaten
