Rome was not built in a day, but if your efficient, you can almost see all in a day.

I came to Rome earlier than Maria, and was walking around the hostel while waiting for her arrival. When I was walking around randomly, I just stumbled upon the colosseum, and I realized that the centre of Rome is surprisingly small, even so, we managed to get lost more than a couple of times. My multiple attempts of trying to find a short-cut was eventually abandoned after long detours up different hills. The first night we went out to eat in the Trastevere district.

We started up early the next day with our sightseeing and since we only had two (and a half) days in this beautiful city we decided to see the most of it the first day and explore the roman café-life the next. 

We managed to see the Forum Romanum, the colosseum and the vatican before a well-earned break at the hostel. With new strength we went out and got to see the spanish steps and the Trevi Fountain. Which was immensely over crowded and a bit over rated for my part. 

The owner of the hostel gave us a lot of tips of when to be at the different places and where to get the shortest lines, so it is a lot thanks to her that we were able to see so much in one day. 

As well she recommended us a really good restaurant close to the Trevi Fountain, L'archetto, with over 40 different kinds of pasta, what a place!! The food was awesome and could not be more perfect for two tired souls just starting their adventure together.
