We decided to visit Ely on our way back from Cambridge and glad we did as it's a charming city. We didn't have the time to go into the cathedral and besides the Sunday congregation was in full flow.

I spotted a few interesting things whilst we were exploring Ely such as a series of plaques that depicted stories from the history of the city and a project known as the "Ely Perspective" and I had to look it up when I got back home later that evening.

This was a fabulous morning, we got up early, must have been about 5am, it was still dark outside and took the Roman Metro to the Spanish steps. We took some photos around there whilst the place was dead quiet. Having done that we walked up to the Villa Borghese park and the view across the city was fantastic with such lovely early morning light to make it all worthwhile.
