All Time Relais & Sport Hotel Rome

... from the train station which made things pretty easy.
I got all checked in and got my stuff organized then headed for a
quick snack before dinner. There was a great pizza place right next
door to the hostel that I thought I would try out. I had a tomato and
swish cheese pizza with big chunks of tomatos. After I walked around a
bit to orient myself with the city. Unfortunately I hadn't grabbed a ...

We have now spent a week in Rome and it is impossible to see everything that Rome has to offer, with nearly 2700 years of western civilisation and possibly the most influential city the world has ever seen. Rome is a thriving metropolis with not a sky scraper in sight the citta eterna (eternal city) speaks so much of its past with its thousands of years of history that the old adage Roma, non basta una vita (Rome, a lifetime is not enough), couldn't be more true.

... it, I thought it was fine although it must be some sort of special lemon this guy had grown. Well, special it was because before long my head was completely swimming. All of a sudden I realized that I had been consuming some sort of alcohol and was well on my way to getting drunk! I asked Mom to smell it because I don't have much experience with alcohol and she confirmed my suspicions and by that time I had probably ...

Ok, it's been a while since I've been able to update, so now I feel like I've forgotten everything that's happened! For some reason, this travel pod doesn't work on the Windows 94 that the hostel computer runs off of. So now I am in some Asian internet place where everyone but me is a giggling Asian teenager playing some sort of computer game. Well, where do I start? I think Rome is my favorite location yet. Italy is ...

... of great pictures (by Tim). I just want to say that I had the highest expectations for Rome(compared to all the other cities) and it didn't disappoint. If you are planning on visiting Europe...make sure you hit Rome. Thanks for reading my babble everyone(or just you stalker). Update on my fantasy football team: Team Scuba was 6-0 before this trip...now I am 6-2. Next is Cinque Terre...Ciao

... entirely at the Vatican. Vatican City is its own country and has its own post office and radio station. We didn't see the Pope as he only comes out on Wednesdays and Sundays. I can only imagine the crowds on those days. As it was, people were lined up for miles around the Vatican wall to get in to see the Sistine Chapel. But, it was worth fighting the crowds and the heat in order to see what lies within the walls of Vatican City.

... or spanish or german or arabic. When I first got into Rome, it took me 37 minutes from stepping onto the platform to dropping my pack down where I would eventually sleep for the night. No plans, no maps. It's not as though I'm not appretiating the cities or towns I visit. They still hold that magical quality that I love, but that little spark of excitement, that thrill of travelling itself has become almost commonplace. New ...

... news channels to find out what is going on you get the following news from a trusted friend - I quote: "And did you hear Zim is putting up taxes on alcohol and cigarettes by 50%?!! H**e's the proof, and they had the cheek to do it while you w**e away! Big tax hikes in 'broke' Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe's finance minist** has imposed a string of tax rises to bridge a huge spending shortfall and the effects of drought and slum clearances. A tax on drinks and ...

... last night. Sounds like I did'nt miss much. She did say she met another cutie in our group, Sam from Vancouver, Canada and his friends. Looking forward to the meet and great on the bus later. Our Tour Direcotor, Simon gave us a brief instructions before our tour starts. Looks like we've got a long day of driving and sightseeing ahead, but tonight's dinner looks like a rager. Looking forward to later.

... to the girl. She reads, hits keys, and everything vanishes off into the "eithernet". I walk,.......quietly,....composed. I suspect it is due to my provider Optusnet. Drew later advises that you can actually set a time period, after which if there is no activity, it will disconect you. I assume that it is currently set for a few minutes only, as I am always being disconnected. Again I SCREAM, why doesn't the industry fully explain its services. Why do ...
