Roma!

It took me awhile but I finally found the random ass hostel I was staying in. The randomness was greatly welcomed and accepted though so all is well. Kumar, this big Somalian guy who ran the place is just off the wall and hard to explain. Met Libby, Meagan, and Beck (all from various places in Australia) and got boxed wine and take out to go sit outside the Colosseum and enjoy. The pickpocketing is especially bad in Rome (and Barcelona). Now I have to sidestep with examples for reason of unde...

Rome

Right now it's actually a week after this trip, but I'm updating it on this day for record keepings sake. We arrived in Rome around midnight and caught the bus to Termini Station, in Rome's city center. Again, we had no plans on where we would be staying. The original plan was to wander around all night, or to head to a club. But since Eric had some extra money from his birthday, he said it was ok if we got a hotel, since we didn't have to worry so much about our budget. So from Termini Stati...

The early bird gets no lines

last night kiki and i shared a bottle of white wine under the stars infront of the coloseum and stumbled our way home...it was a hot, but good, sleep. we got up this morn at 7am and headed off to st. peters square and vatican city. not many people around, we had free reign of the place. i wanted to see the popes tombs so we observed the basillica for awhile before heading to the basement. the art and history and meaning of it all truly amaze me.the remains of queens, deans, popes, priests, al...

When In Rome

Rome Like - how much there is to see and do in Rome, and that its big enough to not feel like a tourist the whole time. Dislike - the bus system! Its nuts but I think I finally got it towards the end. Do Differently - find another hostel to stay in. Head down to Southern Italy Stayed - Hosteling HI, and Freestyle Hostel. Hosteling HI, was like going back to the school ward. It was the same deal but again the price was right. The metro was not that far away, and really you can walk anywhere in...

Rome

Rome is big, hot and busy place. The hostel is tiny and crowded like a sardine can, and only has 2 bathrooms and 3 rooms for 30 people, but it has free dinner and breakfast, which is quite good. It is also a very social place. Adam and Gareth came too, and we met some great people there and had a good time with them. We saw the Trevi Fountain - a magnificent fountain with lots of very huge, expressive sculptures lying about on it. It was so crowded. I hate crowds, they make me cranky. I grew ...

When in Rome...!

... as well. We also saw the tomb of Caesar which was pretty cool. We walked around for a few hours and then headed over to the Colosseum. All I have to say is WOW! Definitely took me by surprise at the way it made me feel. I was pretty much in awe the entire time we were in there. It was hard to believe that I was standing in this ´stadium´ that thousands of people and animals were killed in...and most of it was decided by ...

... 3. Walk 3 - Smooth sailing for walk 3, another 15klms, more hills, valleys, farmhouses, trees, paddocks, cows, abandoned villas (we could of moved in some), little tractors, and hardly any people we made it to a wine cellar, a bottle of wine and another kilometer and we made it to San Danto, and our next hotel. We sat out the back in a lawned area which spread for miles and debated whether a swim was a good idea. We managed bathers, the bottle of wine and a quick nap in ...

In Rome with more time...

... of the Russian table at a UN conference. I am not entirely sure what the conference was for, but I'll bet pounds to francs that it was something full of writings, speeches, and bold statements, but ultimately useless and a very large waste of money. So Rome again. Rome is very weird the second time around, staying in the same place we did before and trodding upon the same ground . . .it makes me feel Romanesque saying that; 'trodding.' I like it. Nothing really has happened ...

... whisked me out of the building in the nick of time before the manager showed up. In Italy there is a law where, in the kind of place where they're staying, you can't have overnight guests for fear of terrorism. Makes the illegal wiretaps and library book checks of the Patriot Act seem almost fun in comparison. Several goodbyes and blocks walked in the rain later, I was on the train to Florence ... Moral of the story: The Pope is a baller.

... spent in transit. For this reason, we now look to return from most places via alternative routes. Unless we want to revisit some country, seeing it coming from a different direction. Sometimes we are amazed at what we see coming home. It stands to reason if you are driving through hill country in one direction, you only see what is ahead of you. On the return journey, you discover, a walled hill town was on the other side of a pretty ordinary hill you passed on the way out.
