Have you visited Rome?
As we are (or were!) avid cruisers, we've had several chances to spend one day exploring the city. Anyone who
has been there knows that one port day is not nearly enough to see all that Rome has to offer. Fortunately,
before one of our cruises, we spent some pre-cruise days in a hotel and packed each day as full as possible.
We loved our tour of the Roman Colosseum - complete with the back stage areas as well. With many
technological advances, the construction of the Colosseum is amazing. There were many moving walls and
platforms. Both people and wild animals could access the stage from below and the arena could be filled with
water for aquatic battles. There was even a shade canopy to help take the heat off!
