Day 25

As Alessandro was unable to put us up at Elevenrome for the balance of our stay here, he offered their new facility; Elevenstar instead. We were pleasantly surprised at the charming room he showed us. It is tucked away down a little side street on the second floor of an old stone building and has a small terrace surrounded by buildings and potted plants and to make it even better, it was cheaper by10€.



We caught the Metro and headed back to the Piazza Spagna which had a completely different look and atmosphere in the light of day. We roamed the narrow alleys and lanes searching for just the right Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci or Dolce & Gabanna bag only to learn that it was out of our price range








We made our way over to the Pantheon and meandered past a world famous gelataria called Giolitti's but unfortunately we had already had our daily gelato and were ready for some pasta.






The Piazza Navona is an oblong square filled with artists and musicians and lined with ristorantes. We found our pasta right in front of a wonderful musician playing the blues. It was amazing to listen and eat more delicious food, drink wine (which just so happens to be the Italian wine that i discovered that I loved when in Arizona earlier this year) and very expensive coca cola light (7€). In the centre of the piazza is Rome's most famous fountain called The Four Rivers by Bernini. Four burly river gods representing the four continents that were known in 1650 support an Egyptian obelisk.
