Trevi Fountain Tuesday evening

The hotel owner suggested a restaurant about 50 metres from the hotel - what a find! It was very busy, however they squeezed us in. If you are in Rome, I recommend you go to Hostaria Romana in Via Rasella, fabulous food and the vino rosso della casa was very, very drinkable. Dick had a piece of fillet steak that was cooked to his liking- bloody - and I had saltimbocca romana. We shared the potatoes, mushrooms and the Roman speciality of stuffed artichokes. So good, we booked for another night. Great service, great food.
Memorable meal No. 1.
Restaurant patrons graffiti the walls and it was fascinating reading - looking for someone we may have known. Only found The Lane Family from Melbourne 2012 as a possibility.

We began our passeggiata towards the Trevi Fountain  which was swarming with tourists, but still looked gorgeous all lit up.  We through in our coins so that we will return and then strolled to the Pantheon, and wandered around the square - Obelisk No. 3! We made our way back to the hotel, or so we thought.  We became hopelessly lost and a long way from the hotel. Hot, tired, grumpy. Our map reading after 40 hours awake, a couple of glasses of vino rosso della casa and lots of traipsing around probably wasn't quite up to par. However, there is always something fabulous to see in Rome, and came across Obelisk No. 4 in the Piazza Colonna.
We found our way back to the hotel and slept like exhausted tourists.
