@solclassics excelling as ever as our tour guide
Another big day in Rome; long walk to the Vatican followed by the Spanish Steps, the Ara Pacis, the Trevi Fountain and the Capitoline Museums. Even more walking than yesterday! Everyone has been brilliant and we are all learning lots @solsch1560 @SolSchTrips

Great morning in Rome at the Baths of Caracalla, where we re-enacted swimming in a Roman pool. The Romans probably did it more enthusiastically… #WheninRome @solclassics @solihull_rs

A few tired feet in Rome but we have had a great first day exploring the Catacombs of San Sebastian and getting to grips with Rome itself. Here we are with Bernini’s famous elephant @solsch1560 @solclassics @solihull_rs

So, SO enjoyed Lloyd's lecture this evening. Such a fascinating look into how the Iranians took 300 and lots of interesting ideas of 'otherness' in Hollywood. Such good stuff!! Huge thanks to the @bmca too, as always!
