... mine was how secure my tent and belongings could be kept. This point is maybe not obvious for those used to staying in a hotel. However on a campsite the question of security becomes primary as, not being able to lock your possessions away, you often have ...

Day 2, July 23 We were up early for breakfast at the hotel, great selection of breads, cheese, meats, scrambled eggs, etc. and fresh cappuccino. Eating it in the relaxed atmosphere of the enclosed courtyard garden under the orange trees. We packed up ...

... saw a sign out of the corner of our eyes that said "Isola Sacra". Alas, we had already passed the entrance to the hotel and had to continue maneuvering and dodging until we could go around the block and approach it once more. Now in the sanctuary ...

... of Rome, and far away from the "bum zone." The following day, John and I did some more research and booked a darling hotel in the heard of Central Rome.  We gathered our belongings at checked out of our not so great hotel. We took a taxi to our new ...

... we could easily walk from one end to the other. Well, "easily" might be a stretch; it wasn’t the distance of our hotel to everything in Florence, it was the sidewalks you have to take to get there. We’ve read that Florence is the best place ...

... We cycled up this street and down that one with no luck.  After 20 minutes of frustration, we asked for directions in a nearby hotel.  What do you know.  We'd ridden past it several times.  Not much of a marquee for the Beehive ...

... and not just assume I'll be able to hunch my way through directions. (I should also mention that I neglected to print out my hotel information yesterday, and my computer was dead and I wasn't around wifi anyway. So these may have added to my, um, ...

... were off the train in Rome. Our hostel was right across the street from the train station which was nice. It's called the Pop Inn Hotel. It's quite adorable, it's very much a youth hostel by the way it's decorated and such. We checked in and left our ...

... to fainting. So weird. And totally out of the blue. Our hostel turned out to be really nice... our room was more like a hotel than a hostel, with nice clean with sheets. We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant around the corner and then set off for another ...

... means someone else's bathroom was ventilating into ours. Awesome. That was our cue to get the hell out of the hotel and start exploring Rome. I slathered on my sunscreen (in the bedroom, as the bathroom was officially off limits now) and we dashed off to ...

... kids drop a few coins into the "headless" guy's cup, hoping for a bow, and listening to yet another version of Hotel California by a solo guitarist.  One of our wrong turns led us to a huge outdoor market near the Vatican, selling everything from ...

... could happen, which we already knew. We were not going to let these people ruin our trip!!!!  Our hotel was in the middle of Rome - by a large piazza and what was that on the corner??? A McDonalds!!!!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!  Thank goodness, cheap, ...

... more tunnels and some huge expansions of high bridges and the compulsory mountain walled cities and castles. We arrive in Rome about 5.30pm and our Hotel Cassa Valdese in Via Alessandro Farnese, in the Prati district, close to Vatican City. This one is ...

... a mother, before it falls down on you and crushes you into pulp. The bottom line: we're flying out tomorrow. Delta pays for a hotel, meals, and gives us $850 cash each (they wanted to give 1000 Delta-bucks, but when I found out they're only good for a ...

... states. Steve and I just looked at eachother with sheer disbelief.  Anyway, enough about Americans... We found our hotel very easily, because we know Termini and the surrounding streets rather well now. We were happy that the hotel was nothing ...

... avoid a strong desire to submit to our heavy eyelids, we met by brother and made a short trip over to the luxury Hilton Hotel to have cocktails and snacks with my parents who are also visiting Roma. It was a great experience for this uprooted soul to ...

... , stretching out to rest/sleep - on a plane! Flying First Class makes you remember when air travel was fun! Got to our hotel around 9 a.m. Saturday, cleaned up and were off by 11 to a FULL day of sightseeing - the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi Fountain and ...

... enough though all of the surrounding land seems to be industrial.  There is a cinema complex two blocks down from the hotel with two fascinating shops. One called 'Arthur Land', which serves a range of Macdonalds/KFC style dishes with names like ...
