Rome - Part II

After the late lunch at Borgio Pio, the sun has set, as me and my wife walks across the nearest bridge towards Vatican city, crossing the river Tiber, I took a magnificent shot of river Tiber at evening.

We then walk around the city of Rome. Rome street is small and cobbled, a typical ancient city look and feel. After venturing around, we reached the "Pantheon" or the "Temple of all Gods". The ancient gods are no longer at Pantheon, Rome has undergone the Christian faith ever since. The temple is still very well maintained.

Inside Pantheon, there are lots of pictures about christanity.

After visiting the Pantheon, we walked on and search for the Trevi Fountain. The fountain was built during ancient Roman period and was subsequently built in later years to this grandeur. The water supplying the fountain to this very day is sourced from the aqueduct built by the ancient romans.

By now it is already 7pm. A peculiar trait of italian restaurant is that dinner is served after 7pm, you can't find a single restaurant open prior 7pm. So we managed to search for a nice cosy restaurant named L'Archetto. As recommended by a host of online tourist guides, this restaurant is known for good food and appropriate pricing.

I asked for the L'Archetto spaghetti


Wife asked for 'Chanel' spaghetti.

The food was served promptly and the portion is quite big and also very tasty. After finishing the delicious dinner, we then begin our journey back to the hotel.

It was quite a long walk, nevertheless, it was very enjoyable to walk in the streets of rome at night.
