Day 7 - Exploring Rome - Magnum shop and Spanish steps

We got to the magnum store and wow – definitely worth a visit! Check out our creations………..delish……..more walking needed! Connor said “best magnum ever” and we all agreed!  You got to choose the flavour of your ice-cream, your chocolate coating and three toppings - hard to choose! 

Some of the topping choices..................

Karl's finished product - brownie, coconut and

Loki went for cinnamon biscuit, white chocolate and popping candy

Connor had popping candy, brownie and chocolate (he was the only one to have chocolate ice-cream)

And I had brownie, m&ms and flower petals

A huge tick from the Fraser family

The store -

We then walked past the “expensive shopping area” and I mean walked past as Karl would not let me enter so sorry guys I am not returning with any goods from Prada, Tiffany’s, Jimmy Choo or Gucci – bugger!  Anyway, we made it to the Spanish Steps and they were pretty impressive and although I knew that they were under repair that boys appeared quite shocked and were a bit disappointed – oh well!  Took some photos and recalled some of the things Connor had researched – as again he had done a power point on the Spanish Steps as he wanted to know “why there were Spanish Steps in Italy when there were already lots of steps in Spain” – anyway, will post his power point to let you all know the answer to his question!

We then began to head toward home and found a great little lunch spot – great range of food which made all of us very happy.  I got a great Italian drink -  Aperol spritz – which contains aperol, sparkling wine and soda water – delish!

We then took the long way home via Republica and the planetarium to chill out a little before we go out exploring a little later.
