For our final day we decided to go back to Rome, see a few sights and do some shopping. We took it easy and got off to a leisurely start at 11am. We went directly to the shopping mall parking instead of trying to find the parking garage again, and we figured that might be full by this time anyway.
Yanmei's everyday sandals have a whole forming in them, so she wanted to find a replacement. She ended up buying some nice Italian leather high heel shoes, although those don't replace her flat heel sandals.
We stopped at the Spanish steps again, since it is right next to the Metro station. This is one of the spots Yanmei has been, and she said it was much better last time she was there because it was lined with flowers. They must only do that at certain times of the year.
Then we headed towards the Trevi Fountain. Along the way we bought a slice of veggie pizza from a shop, which Yanmei said was one of the best she's ever had. She may have been starving because I found it mediocre.
Unfortunately the Trevi Fountain is undergoing maintenance. I'd heard that the previous day from other people on the Vatican tour. I still wanted to have a look.
After that we headed towards the Pantheon, which was fairly close. I wanted to see that because it is the best preserved Roman building. Also it is free to go inside. 🙂
Then we headed back to the hotel room to relax for the evening.
That night they had fireworks in Rome, maybe to honor our visit. 😉 We watched from the balcony.
