The Roman Forum, finally! Had to backtrack down the hill and around to get to the real entrance, then wait in the hot sun for about 25 minutes to get to one of two (count them, 2) ticket windows. Must be the Roman way of limiting the number of visitors... Anyway, what can I say about the Roman Forum, Rome’s political, commercial and religious heart, that you don’t already know? Probably nothing, so I’ll just show you a few of my photos:
