Alone in Rome part 2

 It's been a year since I was in Rome and coincidentally it was on Holocaust Remembrance Day. I only had one day to spend in the city so I wanted to pack in as much as I could during the twelve hours I had. With my knapsack on my back and my camera in hand, I set off to explore.

 The Colosseum

After ending up at the opposite end from the Colosseum I made my way towards there. There was some very light rain when I was by Forum of Trajan, but by now it had pretty much let up so I was looking forward to a nice day with perhaps one more light shower.

The general area I first ended up in. Across the road is Caesar's Forum and the Roman Forum (only part is shown). The Roman Forum is where the Arch of Titus is. And of course, down the road, the large circular building is the Colosseum where I was headed towards.

Ancient Rome

At this point my feet were getting really tired so I figured I would hop on the tour bus and come back later on. Then I could also walk around the Roman Forum and if I really wanted to, pay to go inside the Colossem.

I don't think I have ever seen a bus this small. Perhaps it seems so tiny because the door is so large.
