Mediterranean Cruise: Colosseum and Roman Forum
I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour today with the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The second day of the trip, we had about half a day to explore the city some more before heading to Civitavecchia to get on the ship. The vast majority of our group did a combined tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Jake and I had never been to Italy before, so everything in Rome was brand new to us.
