Anw, I'm back from Rome, Italy, just for an update. Been back for some time already but have been relatively busy since reaching home. Very busy.
In any case, apart from a few unpleasant 'surprises' it was a relatively pleasant trip. Unpleasant perhaps because we went during a time of slight political problem. There was a strike on Saturday, and the whole public transport system was down, which grounded us at the hotel. And we had a run-in with a pickpocket-thief who got away with a fair bit of money. Nothing else, thankfully..
Italy is a country with many sights, no doubt about that.. Let's see..
A typical Roman Street. The buildings don't get higher than this.
The Spanish Steps (Piazza Spagna) in Italy where 2 English poets got inspiration.
The famous Trevi Fountain. One of the countless fountains you see dotting the streets of Rome. But no doubt the most extravagant of them.
A page out of ancient Rome. The load of buildings behind,.. they're old. Really old. I think built by the Emperors (Caesars) of Ancient Rome.
And the Colloseum. Also from ancient Rome.
And all that in just one day. All walking.. OH well, it was tiring, but didnt sweat at all. Winter, you see.
To be continued...
