My time in Rome is coming to an end, at least for this visit! Did 60 km of walking last week - Colosseum, the Forum and Palatine Hills, Baths of Caracalla, disappointing visit to the Vatican Museums, Pyramide and the non-Catholic cemetery (and cats!) - and will be heading to Pompeii for a day trip tomorrow. It's definitely a very walkable city and I will miss it!
It was also my birthday yesterday (37) and my good friend's family took me out to lunch so I wouldn't be celebrating alone. And by lunch, I mean lunch (Roman restaurant, fantastic meat and cheese platter with the tastiest smoked mozzarella ever), pasta, red wine, coffee...then to Eataly (Italian food emporium) for more coffee and some sweets from the counter to take home with us...then bubbles and sweets back at their house. So, all in all an eight-hour lunch.
This was from my visit to Eataly earlier in the week when I treated myself to lunch. This was the starter (!). Such DS friendly food options here:
