Day 228: Rome: Colosseum

October 1, 2016

Today was a huge day, and was seriously impressive. I got to see the Colosseum.

It's one of the things from my bucket list, along with the Great Wall and the White House, and it did not disappoint!!

Seriously, it's like 2000 years old and still just chilling here. What?

Even the lines were worth it. There are lines for everything here though. You want to see something? Line. You want to go somewhere? Line. You want food? Line. It's not so bad though, because I just talk to strangers and get more travel tips from them while I'm waiting.

There are also ruins next to the Colosseum which you can go into, so I spent a couple of hours losing myself in there.

After all the ancient stuff, I went and checked out some more old stuff, including the Mouth of Truth and the Keyhole. 

It looks fake, but I swear, the keyhole is real.
