I went to Rome last August with my girlfriend. We flew to Rome with British Airways. We stayed for a week in a small hotel near the Colosseum. The hotel was nice and quite cheap.

During the day we walked around the city. We saw all the famous places like the Colosseum and St Peter’s, and we threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain. We took a lot of photos. At night we went to restaurants and had fantastic pasta and red wine. Our favourite restaurant was in the Piazza Navona. We bought a paiting of Trastevere (the old town) and my girlfriend bought some very expensive shoes.

We had a great time. Rome is full of history and has a special atmosphere, and Italian food is wonderful. We only had two problems: it was very hot, and it was very difficult to cross the road.
