SNOWPOCALYPSE! Neve a Roma
Never in our lives did we think we would see this...
When we woke up this morning we had a powercut, which was very odd. But even odder, outside it was snowing! Madness. We jumped straight on a bus, but by the time we had got into the centre of town it had nearly stopped. We decided to go to the Capitoline Museums (no point going home to a cold and dark flat), only for the snow to start again when we were in there. We rushed out and managed to photograph the Forum in snow.
We then headed straight to the Pantheon, since it's been a lifetime ambition of Ben's to see snow coming through the hole in the top. Motorini were sliding everywhere, people were running out of shops and restaurants, and snowballs were whizzing around (think how mad people go in the UK when this happens, and snow is a lot more common there!).
Well that's one thing ticked off the list then. This winter has just been snowtastic, everywhere!

great photos.
ReplyDeleteI to went to the Pantheon and took a few pictures. It was fun to watch how excited everyone was about the first snowfall in 25 years.
Just love all the snow photos of Rome! Thanks for sharing :)
