We arrived at Gatwick
at 11.15 and made our way to the check in desk.
1 we had some free time, so everyone
went to the arcade, ate at Burger King or looked
around the shops. The flight was quiet and almost
all of us played games.
Not many of us had been to Rome and so we saw
a very different environment from the one we live
in. The houses were yellow, there were terracotta
tiles on the floor outside the cafes and the most
common transport was the moped. We got to our
hotel, sorted out our rooms, unpacked and went
out to dinner. The pasta was exquisite!
Lovely sunshine and comfortable temperatures were
the norm and very nice it all was too, 2 but then we were warm and dry in the
coach, 3 . The weather was important as most
of our visits were to Roman remains.
The real Roman bit started with the trips round
the Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum 4 . On our way back to our hotel we
were given a guided tour of the Church of San
Clemente, whose remains, 5 , took us back to the level of Nero's
Rome with its streets, alleys and the best preserved
temple to Mithras in the world.
We spent time in Ostia, the port of Rome. During
the 3rd century BC, the town was primarily used
as a naval base and played an important part in
various wars. The remains of the town itself are
in excellent condition, 6.
Everything we had learned about, or seen in pictures,
suddenly came to life. We hadn't been there before
but we felt that we knew it.
