| The wonderfully touristy Fontana di Trevi. |
Our last full day in Rome was dedicated to exploring the
main touristy haunts of the city centre, starting with the annoyingly crowded
Trevi Fountain. If you’re not aware, the story is that you take a coin in your
right hand, back to the fountain, and throw the coin over your left shoulder
into the water, wishing for a safe return to Rome. If you’ve done this before
and you are back, your safe return has been granted, and so you now wish for
something else. But apart from the coin-tossing tradition, the carvings of the
fountain are quite spectacular. It’s hard to get a good photo of it, with the
crowds around, but you can, relatively easily, get close enough to appreciate
it.
