Simpatia Flat Massalongo Rome

... 2 to get back. But we did get to experience the ghetto of rome and then one block over rome's wall street...interesting how fast the areas can change!<br><br>Now it was time to head to the train station to catch our overnight train to Interlaken Switzerland...and this time we were in a sleeping car! So now its official we have travelled every way possible by train after we do the sleeping car!<br><br>Now its off to Switzerland!!

... over Rome and went to Villa Borghese to relax for a couple of hours and think about all the things we have done over the last month. Isy and me both agreed that we're looking forward to sleeping in our own beds, having a good shower, having a variety of clothes to choose from, not living out of a bag, long trains being a distant memory, knowing our way around and people understanding what we say...but in all honesty that's also the stuff we're going to miss!

... he went to school. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the place was closed so we didn't get to try the tiramisu. Instead, we continued on and went to a place on top of one of Rome's seven hills where you can see a view of the entire city by night. It was freezing cold but well worth it.   Day 5: The next morning Amy and I had to get up after only 2 hours sleep to get the train to the airport. I was going to London, Amy to Copenhagen, but we would meet ...

Si uno va a estar 3 dias completos en Roma, les recomiendo sacar el Roma Pass (que se vende en cualquier sitio de información turistica). Este pase incluye 3 días de medios de transporte y entrada gratis a 2 museos dentro de un rango de 40 disponibles (entre ellos se emcuentra el Colisseo). Además al tener el Roma Pass, uno no tiene que hacer cola para entrar en los museos, directamente inserta la tarjeta en los molinetes y listo!! A DISFRUTARLO!!!

... are and the nicer the atmosphere becomes. At the very top there was an open air art market where some very good oil paintings were available for only 50 Euro. I checked out the art for a while and then headed back down the stairs to find Belle. We headed off in the direction of the Trevi Fountain, browsing the many shops along the way. I was struck by the very stylish cashmre and woolen overcoats that were on sale, all for very reasonable prices compared to those I have seen ...

... bites. Coffee here is a public utility. Like fire hydrants at home, there is espresso on every corner. Tonight I enjoyed the usual frenetic conflagration called "dinner" at home, and "la cena" here. It started with a big noise: Fabbio happily arriving loaded down with bags, some containing food, with daughter Martina running up and down the steep stairs shouting "Babbo! Babbo!" which is Tuscan for "Daddy!" It was Yuki's turn to show us how the Japanese eat. She put ...

... our bags to make sure no hands where getting in. we went to the Spanish steps which were so croweded with people but we got our photos and walked up them. unfortunately there was some scafolding around the church at the top...surprise surprise (i swear everything is getting maintaince) but still pretty cool. afterwards it was off to the fountain (sorry cant remember the name, but its very well known) so again it is in a tiny square but very impressive, with mass statue feature and ...

... or glasses. it's really annoying and kinda scary too - this one guy chased a lady who was looking and didn't buy anything. ok so that aside. today we went on a long walk from our hotel (near the Coliseum) all the way to Vatican City. on the way we saw the Pantheon, Liz bought an awesome dress because it's way hotter than we thought here and we saw an amazing castle. Then we headed over to see the Vatican and surprisingly didn't have to wait in line very long, maybe ...

Hello Again, This may be our last travellogue until we get home, but sorry it must be brief. We wish to assure everyone that we don't THINK we are putting on any weight, despite our culinary habits. Our clothes are not feeling any tighter, though it IS possible that we have stretched them during all the washing and ringing and drying we have put them through. The scales shall tell when we get home. The last two days have ...

... that seemed to have no other purpose, a massive statue of (presumably) Vittorio himself on a horse, all done in bronze, and other pedestals, statuary, lots of steps, two "eternal" flames, wreaths, fountains, and a couple of enormous metal gates that made sure we could only see all this from a distance. A short walk from there brought us to the Pantheon, which I had also visited with Adrian but ...
