#PinkTutuRome Wednesday 2021-06-09 exploring Rome Italy

Buongiorno, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing travel blogger, Emma, bringing you another Wednesday treat straight from the heart of Rome! 🇮🇹 This week, I've been soaking up the sunshine and exploring all that this captivating city has to offer, and I'm here to share it all with you. As always, you know my travel style is all about feminine flair, vibrant colours, and of course, my signature pink tutu. 🩰

Now, I'll confess, it took a bit of courage to rock the pink tutu amidst the cobblestone streets and Roman ruins. But you know me, I'm a firm believer in wearing what makes you feel fabulous, and let me tell you, the locals loved it! Even the cheeky pigeons couldn't resist cooing their approval. 🕊️

My trip began with a rather delightful journey from Derbyshire, England, by train. Now, I absolutely adore train travel - the gentle rhythm of the rails, the countryside scenery flitting past, and the chance to soak up a good book or journal about my travels. Plus, you can't beat a leisurely afternoon tea on a train! ☕️

As I pulled into the bustling Termini Station, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. The energy of Rome was electric, a perfect mix of ancient history and modern vivacity. And you know me, I'm always up for a bit of an adventure!

Of course, no visit to Rome is complete without experiencing the majesty of the Colosseum. Stepping into the vast arena, I couldn't help but be awestruck by its scale and history. The echoes of gladiatorial combat seemed to reverberate through the stones, reminding me of the sheer power and drama that this place once held.

Despite the ancient surroundings, my pink tutu felt surprisingly at home amongst the crumbling arches and towering walls. It brought a touch of whimsy to the historical grandeur, reminding me that even in the face of history, a little bit of joy can brighten up the world. ✨

After my morning with the gladiators, I ventured into the heart of Rome's shopping scene. You all know I'm a fashion enthusiast, so a little retail therapy was essential! I adore the blend of classic elegance and modern style that Rome's boutiques offer. From bespoke tailoring to contemporary fashion houses, I was truly spoilt for choice. 👗👠

This afternoon, I snagged the most adorable floral-print dress, the perfect summery frock for strolls through the city. It was the kind of dress that could effortlessly transition from day to night, making me feel like a modern-day Roman goddess! I just had to accessorise it with a beautiful straw hat and, of course, my trusty pink tutu, to add a touch of my signature style. 🌸👒

Later that evening, I treated myself to a delectable Italian dinner in a quaint restaurant tucked away in the backstreets of Trastevere. The ambience was magical, the food heavenly, and the conversation lively. And let's just say, I'm always ready for a romantic rendezvous with a delicious pasta dish. 🍝❤️

The highlight of the evening, however, was a breathtaking performance by the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. A beautifully staged production of "La Bohème" transported me to the streets of Paris, immersing me in Puccini's poignant love story. The emotional depth of the performance, combined with the exquisite artistry of the singers and dancers, had me completely captivated. ✨

Even on holiday, I had to indulge in my passion for ballet! The local ballet school here offers a lovely range of classes, so I spent my Wednesday morning stretching and twirling with other aspiring ballerinas. I just adore that feeling of effortless grace and freedom that comes with a good ballet session. It's my personal therapy! 🩰

Now, for those of you who know me well, you know I have a secret ambition: I dream of getting everyone to wear a pink tutu at least once in their life. Why? Because I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy, the confidence, and the sheer delight of embracing their inner ballerina! 💕

So, there you have it, my dear friends! A glimpse into my wonderful Wednesday adventures in Rome. I'm already planning my next visit - I simply can't get enough of this fascinating city! If you're looking for a trip that combines history, culture, delicious food, and a sprinkle of magic, Rome is the place to be! And remember, even in the most iconic historical sites, you can always find a place for a little bit of pink and a whole lot of fun! 💖

See you next Wednesday for another fabulous Pink Tutu adventure!

Yours always,
