Ciao Bella Hostel Rome

... show´,,, CRAZY!! We did a lot more walking around in Rome just looking at random things and then hoped on a hop on hop off bus tour of the city. So we got to see a lot of different things and actually get to know what they were instead of just walking by them and saying ´there´s a fountain´. After we had completed the entire circuit of the bus tour we headed back to the hostel for dinner. Tonight it was Pizza and beer!<br><br ...

... and you are constantly reminded, "silencio por favor" by the guards and told "no photo!". The ceiling is absolutely amazing! It depicts 9 stories from the Book of Genesis, from the creation to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood. On the back wall of the Chapel is Michaelangelo's greatest achievement in painting, The Last Judgement. This is the most amazing painting in the chapel, to me. <br> After this, we continued on to St ...

... the disinterested observers was "what is wrong with this idiot". I would pay for this inspired decision later. Off to the Trevi Fountain. An amazing sculpture in the smallest, most inappropriate square. Huge tourist numbers; you simply could not move. Fiona helped the Red Cross by ...

We have to hike all the way back to where we came from to a different hostel. Once we finally did settle down though, our stay in Rome was incredible. There was ...

... The only shirts on offer to us were those branded "Liba Shirts". They seemed excellent cotton fabrics, well cut and stitched, and I just have to assume that at between 38 and 42 euros each, they were a bargain. I bought three business shirts and a short sleeved shirt. Supposedly we can present the receipt at Italian customs on the way out, for a refund of the 20% GST.
