Dr. Grey Will See You Now

Chapter 140: Ancient Rome, Pisa and Juliet's House before arriving in Naples

The next morning Kris and Madison get up and eat a nice breakfast. They scan the room making sure they had everything. They check out and then take their luggage to the car putting it in the trunk. They then head the Colosseum. Kris parks and they head up to it. Kris snaps a picture of them in front of it posting it IG and twitter.

The tour starts outside the Colosseum, where they met their tour guide. They then head inside, where the tour begins below ground to explore the Colosseum's tunnels, chambers and pits, where they are able to walk through the underground passageways, listen to stories about the wild animals who were held down here and the Roman gladiators who prepared for their battles here. They then head upward, stopping on the arena floor level where they have were giving the access to walk on the floor itself, standing on the same spot where the battles took place. Kris took a picture of him and Madison posting it to Instagram "@K_Letang58 me and @M_Letang58 standing on arena floor of the Colosseum where Roman Gladiators once stood to face battle. Pretty cool!"

There wasn't much of the original floor remaining however, they were able to peer down through the gaps to see the underground chambers. They continue to move up the Colosseum's upper tier, which just opened again after being closed since 1970. This is where the top level may have been and where Rome's lower classes of spectators were relegated to sit, giving them panoramic views of the arena. They then exit the Colosseum, walk with their guide over to the Roman Forum, which was once the political heart of the city. Kris and Madison were able to then take in the sprawl of ancient ruins, and were able to walk up Palatine Hill, which was once the home to Ancient Rome's wealthy residents, getting a view of Circus Maximus, where chariot races took place. The tour ends on Via Sacra, the main street of Ancient Rome that links the Colosseum to Capitoline Hill.

Kris and Madison head back to the car. They get in and start to drive.

"Where are we going now?" Madison asks.

"A surprise baby one of two that were not originally planned." Kris answers.

"Okay baby I can't wait." Madison says smiling.

Their first unexpected stop was Pisa Italy.

"Oh my god baby I always wanted to see the leaning tower of Pisa but didn't even think to include it while we were here." Madison says.

"I know baby. Nadia told me so I made sure we could do it." Kris replies.

"I love you baby." Madison says.

"I love you more. "Kris replies kissing her.

They get out and get a few pictures of them with the tower of Pisa in the background. They get one of them kissing, one of them just standing there and one making it look like they were touching it.

Kris posts them to Instagram.

"@K_Letang58: When in Italy you have to stop and see the leaning tower of Pisa. me and @M_Letang58 were able to check that off our bucket list."

They were headed to do Segway tour of Pisa. Kris booked it knowing it would be easier for Madison with her pregnancy.

They meet up with their guide, collect their Segway's, strap on their helmets. They were provide headphones so they could hear their guide clearly. They follow the guide zooming down to the Field of Dreams, a massive expanse of green home to Pisa's three most important sights: the Baptistery, the Duomo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

They stopped for a few minutes so that they could get better pictures up close to the tower. Kris used his selfie stick to take a picture of them and was able to get the whole tower in the background. During this part of the tour they learned about the Romanesque Duomo with its carved pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, and heard about the unusual acoustics in the Baptistery. Then, marvel at the Leaning Tower of Pisa and discover how the 294 steps that lead up to the bell tower do in fact lean.
