Restoration at the Colosseum


Ever wondered why every photo with the Colosseum at the back turns out a certain way lately ?
It's because of restoration works and ugly hoardings along the way.


On foot to the Colosseum


Vittorio Emanuele , Trajan's Column , Via Alessadrina , Julius Caesar's bronze statue and the Roman Forums are all within walking distance of each other. The Colosseum looks like that too when in fact it's further than it seems. 
Like when you see an island from the boat and it takes longer to get there than you anticipated.
Along the way, we passed by a thriving street filled with cafes. First shop on the corner.
