When we cruised out of Civitavecchia, I made sure to get a hotel for the two days before near things to see within walking distance. I was lucky enough to find one overlooking the coliseum nearby, which was lit up at night. On our arrival day, we walked around Trajan's Market, keeping in mind that this was our first time here, so we just tried to see a little. The first night, we found a restaurant near our hotel that was amazing, and they just kept making vegetables for me, and seafood for him, and plying us with Limoncello! I don't drink much. Then after that, we discovered we had to get up 100 skinny steep steps to get back to our hotel. Imagine my horror. Anyway, it was a good way to spend a low-key evening. My husband has since passed away, but what wonderful memories I have. We walked around the next day, had wonderful breakfast at our hotel both days (once they found the oatmeal for me), and took a taxi to the port.
