Our first night in Rome was eventful to say the least! First, we realized while in the airport in Germany, that 5 people in our group were on a different flight than the rest of us and would arrive about 2 hours prior. Luckily, our DM was there to meet them and they got a few extra hours in Rome, lucky!
When we got to Rome, we collected our bags, met Josef then headed straight to dinner. We had dinner at a small restaurant right next the the coliseum!
During dinner, we noticed this guy who looked gay and we were sitting there trying to figure out if he was. Then out of nowhere we hear the Spice Girls song "Wannabe" playing really loudly. Then we start seeing "floats". Turns out there was a gay pride parade going around the coliseum! It was definitely a unique start to our time in Rome!
After our exciting dinner (I can't even tell you what we had because we were so interested in the parade) we ended up stopping at a random spot because we had issues with our bus, the bus and the driver changed at that point and we ended up sitting for a while.
After that was settled we finally went to our hotel and crashed for the night! We were seriously jet lagged and went right to sleep!
Our Hotel was called Rouge et Noir. It definitely wasn't the best hotel we stayed in but it wasn't the worst either. And honestly we couldn't have cared less, we were exhausted!
That concludes our first night in Roma.

Looks like you came to Rome on a great day. Its always neat to experience fun cultural activities when traveling. I love Rome, and grew up just two hours south in Naples. Thank you for linking up this week girl!
