Rome, day 3

On our third and last day in Rome, we finally got to see inside the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.  We spend at least two hours between the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, and probably could've spend more if we wouldn't have been so hungry for lunch! 


Doug contemplating the hundreds of gladiator deaths that occurred there...

Rome is simply amazing!

This picture is from the Trevi fountain and look at all those people!  No matter where we went in Rome this weekend, the crowds were unbelievable.

So after seeing the Colosseum and walking around the city some more, we headed back to our hostel and then we were off to the airport and back to Granada...well, I wish it had been that simple.  Actually our flight in Rome ended up being over an hour late, so we missed our bus in Madrid to take us to Granada.  So when we finally got to Madrid at about 1am, we ran to the bus station to catch the last bus for Granada at 1:30am.  Luckily, we made it and we able to sleep somewhat on the bus (it is a five hour bus ride from Madrid to Granada) before arriving back in Granada at 6:30am...it definitely was an adventure!
