Ever since my humans visited Rome and told me all about my namesake, Omero, it has been an ambition of mine to visit this great city. Well, following our visits to Pisa and Siena a few weeks ago, I finally made it there. Here are some photos from our trip:
My first stop was St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican. I had a good sniff around, but I couldn’t find the Pope anywhere!
Me and Missus in front of St. Peter’s Basilica.
And here we are with a couple of soldiers from the Swiss Guard. They were booti-ful. (But not as booti-ful as me!).
After our tour of the Vatican, we took a break to have a bite to eat.
Once refreshed, we headed off to explore the rest of Rome...
Here’s Grandma and me in front of the Trevi Fountain.
Grandma, Dad and yours truly at the Trevi Fountain.
Next we took a trip to the Pantheon in the centre of Rome.
Then we were off to the Spanish Steps. Here I am with Missus...
...and here I’m sitting with Dad.
Me and Grandma looking ‘cool’ as we overlook the city of Rome. (BTW, Grandma has left Italy now and gone back to home to England. I really miss her!).
It was magnificent!
The arch behind us is the Arch of Constantine.
Here’s me, Missus and Grandma getting our picture taken with a Roman soldier in front of the Colosseum.Unfortunately, all of this exposure to ancient Rome gave Missus an idea...
...Tsk! She couldn’t resist dressing me up as a Roman Gladiator! "My name is Homeus Maximus, loyal servant to Missus Caesar and definitely better looking than Russell Crowe!"
