Craving Culture…

Wednesday, 25 May 2011

Buon giorno! My next holiday is in the final stages of being booked and it’s a sun/sea/sand affair again. Don’t get me wrong, my idea of absolute bliss is lying on a sun-soaked beach with a good book, sipping a piña colada and moving only very occasionally to cool off in the pool/sea or to get another piña colada. But lately I find myself craving a bit of history and culture. It is impossible for me to choose my favourite holiday destination but in terms of culture and history, Rome tops the list! There was nothing more exciting than walking through the Roman Forum seeing remnants of an ancient city or standing in the Colosseum imagining the echo of a roaring crowd! Here’s a little trip down my Roman holiday memory lane…
