Italy - Rome - Day 3

Today we went to visit the Catacomb in Rome. This is the description according to Wikipedia :



The word Catacomb comes from a Greek phrase kata kumbas (L. ad catacumbas). It roughly translates to "near the low place", and originally it meant a certain burial district in Rome. It can refer to any network of caves, grottos, or subterranean place that is used for the burial of the dead.

We had to travel to the outskirts of the city in order to visit the tombs. As a respect to the people who where buried there, no photos were allowed in the tombs.

The day was really hot and after two 2 days of walking, we retired for the rest of the afternoon and went out again for the night. It was on this night when we stumbled upon the best pizza that I've had in my life.

Richard and I were just wondering around, hunting for some beer, then we went to a part of the town where the locals hung out. It was already 1:30AM but there was still lots of people. We picked a pizza joint to sit down. It was not fancy at all. We ordered and about 7 minutes later, our pizza came: the Pizza Capricciosa, "Everything in the house".



It simply beats everything else I've had in the past. The base was a thin layer of pizza doe without crust. The top was loaded with mushrooms, and then scattered with ham, egg, and artichoke heart. I will have to try to find it in Canada!

After the pizza and some beer, falling into sleep became an easy task.
