Colosseum 2

One piece of advice if you are visiting the Colosseum with a friend-stay together as it's easy to lose sight of someone when you get separated as there are so many people moving about between you.

We are now on a lower level, one level above the  stadium floor. There are stairs between floors and we found at least one elevator.

The original stairs are unsafe by modern standards so are blocked off

We allowed ourselves one hour in the Colosseum as we had other places to visit, so we made our way towards the exit-there is only one exit and it is on the opposite side from where we entered. It is well signposted.

We exited the Colosseum and were now planning to visit the Forum. Franco had arranged a meeting place close to the Forum and we had another hour or so at our disposal.
