24th September: Day 2.
Once we entered Rome all the tired and over flown boys casually walked onto the coach and checked into their first hotel, Sebraeli Hotel. We were amazed at all the sites while driving into
central Rome, seeing great fountains, Old Rome architure and of course the Colosseum. After checking into the hotel we moved onto the Rome central station to take an open tour bus of Rome. Stopping off and heading to the "Time Evelator" showing us an amazing visual experience of the Roman's history which everyone enjoyed. We then sneaked in a quick look at the Trevi fountain by night, which was very spectactular and enormous. Then catching the underground metro train which was quite an experience to head to a quiet restaurant for our first meal in Italy.

25th eptember: Day 3
Today was a wonderful day for the history lovers of the group today we went to see the ancient and magnificent Colosseum. We were given a full tour of this ancient roman battle ground, in all its glory. After seeing the Colosseum, we took a walk around ancient rome, hearing about the many ancient structures and heading to the trevi fountain by day, to throw in a coin or two, and of course have a gelato.
After enjoying the fountain, we all headed to the anicient Pantheon, to view the pagen turned catholic church. After lunch we got on the open tour bus again and arrived at the station, we then boarded our coach to play some "calcio"or soccer as we know it to play against some Italian boys. Once we got through the traffic (thats what i call peak hour) we finally arrived at a local soccer school. We saw the boys playing and knew we didn't have much of a chance, but when in Rome, Do as the romans do. The games ran smoothly and we did score once or twice, we then gave the italian boys some aussie footballs and they gave us some shirts. We then departed back to the hotle for a good nights rest.
Day 4 26th september
Today was another busy day. We woke up early to be able to get in line to view the Vatican and its many museum pieces. The highlight of the day was definately the sistine chapel which in person is phenomenal. After veiwing the main st peters basillica we headed to Gladiator school. We were broken and then trained the ways of the gladiator, with many boys becoming fine warriors, then heading back to rome for dinner and sleep. This ended our time in Rome, where we then headed to sorrento!
