Coffee in Rome

I spent months sitting around at home on the couch wishing I could be doing something exciting like traveling and eating an authentic pizza in Naples. Tonight I'm finally living the dream of sitting in a home on a couch eating authentic pizza in Naples.

To be fair to the above comment, I did start my day in Rome drinking an espresso at the bar, before stepping foot into the pantheon, a building over two thousand years old and by far the oldest building I have ever stood in.

Ordering a coffee at the bar in Italy is pretty easy. You just order the coffee you want and stand at the bar to drink it.

Then literally six hours later I one-upped myself but standing inside an even older building in the excavated ruins of Herculaneum.

Getting a statue of yourself for your front room was in fashion in the first century.

After three consecutive 30,000 step days I feel that delicious, Napoli pizza on the couch was justified.

The Naples port and its associated ferry companies have a plethora of one star reviews. For these companies to still be in operation despite such poor customer feedback really tells you that the destinations that they sail to must be worth visiting.

While taking a holiday was supposed to be an escape from much of life's routines, I was not expecting to abstain from eating almonds for over a week. Finally this weekend I have resumed my almond and apple morning teas in the presences of some grand waterfalls in Springbrook and Lamington National Parks.

Too much for me summarise in a review. Instead, I thought I'd share a single takeaway and challenge from each of the sessions.

More Rome highlights. Started with a walk to Travestere, then back across the Tiber and around the back of the forum ruins.
