We tried to get up early and ended up leaving the campsite at around 9:30 and headed to the Colloseum. The wait wasn't too bad at all, but it cost 12 euros each to get in!
There was only a discount for youths from the EU. Luckily, the ticket also covered Palantine Hill and the Roman Forum.
We really liked the Colloseum, but the rest of the day was filled with disappointments. There was some sort of holiday in Rome related to St. Peter, so the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museum were all closed! It wasn't possible to stay any longer because we had already made reservations for Venice.
We did a lot of walking and saw the Fountain of Trevi and that was pretty cool, but both our cameras were out of batteries at that point and we didn't get any pictures!
After this, we went back to the campsite to prepare for our train ride to Venice the next day. We had to get up early, but didn't have an alarm clock, so we decided to drink a bunch of water and hope for the best.
The netbook should be able to function as an alarm. Though the water alarm may work better sometimes. At least you cannot comfortably turn it off.
