Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) Rome

A truly all inspiring city with incredible sites, history and culture. Rome is a city that is a highlight of any trip, and this was certainly the case for me too. Although cquite expensive, you can't help to splurge on your wallet when it comes to some of the most impressive museums, historical sites and monuments. Upon our arrival from Venice, we …

Roma sau „orasul etern" este un loc incarcat de frumusete, contrast si viata. Este un oras eclectic: centrul mondial religios al Bisericii Catolice, fabuloasele ruine ale centrului Imperiului Roman si Roma moderna si neastamparata. Toate acestea trei par a fi in dezacord, insa convietuiesc intr-o deplina armonie. Veti observa ca Roma a fost …

We had the greatest night exploring Rome. We spent the morning getting everything crammed into our bags for our flight tomorrow and went to the supermarket for groceries. Grabbed food for lunch and dinner. Molly has been craving Tacos so with the ingredients we could find here we made some...they were gross. Molly enjoyed them though :). Got more …

We had breakfast and decided we need a bit of retail therapy Italian style. Our plan was to go to Via del Corso but once we got in the taxi our driver said that the shops there weren't open on Monday morning. So instead he took us to a shopping centre out near the airport. He was called Valerio and was very helpful, and so we arranged that he would …

Rome

We drove around to see the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia. Continue on foot to check out the
Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Honour tradition at the Trevi Fountain and throw a coin in the fountain’s waters (it’s meant to improve your chances of returning to Rome!) or maybe hang out with your new friends at the Spanish Steps …

March 14:


1) Since there was a strike until 1:00, Bridge and I decided to take this as a sign to slow down and enjoy a good nights rest… We were fortunate to receive a continental breakfast full of croissants and nutella (one of the many benefits of the strike), where we met a lively older …

....PILLARS!!!!..............pillars to you too mate.

Another day of cramming in sightseeing....this time extremely hungover (sound familiar Jason?).

I think we only survived today on large volumes of coffee and a constant food intake to stave of the empty hollow feeling we had in our stomachs, blood and depths of our souls..... …

Mom dropped us at the airport about 12:30pm. We had plenty of time to check our luggage, make it through security and even browse the airport stores a bit before our 3 pm flight to Philly. I was worried about the layover in Philly because it was only an hour. We were just a bit late but not enough to matter …

Where do you even start with this day wow....

We got going around 9, the bags were pretty well packed and ready to go last night so we had a pretty easy time getting going. We said goodbye to the apartment owner and were on our way. We decided to take an alternative route back to the Med Sea than the way that we had taken in originally and …

Early Saturday morning, seven of us from the flat were stuffing our backpacks with just enough stuff to take on all of Rome's sightseeing in just two days. When we finally reached the train station in Rome, our first goal was to figure out our sleeping arrangements for the night. It took up some time but we ended up in a perfect hostel for our …
