After the Pantheon we headed roughly north, searching out the famous Trevi Fountain
We found the fountain - not too hard to do really. And it's obviously a popular spot with tourists.
No, there's no drought - the fountain is emptied on Monday to retrieve the coins thrown in by visitors. Although the youngsters were having great fun throwing coins into the dry fountain - it made quite a noise, followed by a cheer from the crowd, and the blowing of an official's whistle.
Parking is quite a problem in a city like Rome, so creative parking becomes the norm. Note the car parked in among the bikes and scooters. There is a real benefit to that small sized car! I've no idea whether it's legal for the car to park there, but Rome's road rules seem very flexible, and negotiable!
The Spanish Steps, which are a very attractive, sinuous design. Alas, there are far too many people here to be able to see that aspect! The group near the top was a group of Spainards, happily displaying their nationality, to the cheers of everybody else.
The fountain at the bottom of the steps is that of the "Barcaccia", by P. Bernini.
