We've been pretty spoiled in the lodging department up until this point, and now it's hostel time. Kristen summed it up in one word: downgrade. After staying in apartments, it was a bit of an adjustment moving to a seven-person, co-ed room with bunk beds and having to share a bathroom with the entire floor. That all being said, it was a super nice hostel called The Yellow. Great location, bar downstairs, served cheap breakfast, friendly/helpful staff. Our roommates turned out to be cool and gave us great advice and hostel recommendations for the next few cities we're planning to visit.
Rome was all about the walking and sightseeing. As Kristen put it, "I feel like all this shit is reeeeeal old." That's true. Among other things, we saw the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, The Vatican, St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel, and the Spanish Steps. We ate lots of pasta, pizza, tiramisu & gelato, and of course loved us some wine.
By the last night in Rome we were exhausted. We have constantly been on the go since this trip began. Not wanting to do much of anything we decided to go see a movie. We found a theater not to far from us that showed movies in English and saw the Wall Street movie with Michael Douglas. I knew that Europe would wear us out, but it's hard to justify taking a day to do nothing when you are only spending three or so days in each city. I do have to say that it was nice to take a break from looking at museums & cathedrals for an evening.
