What can I say about Rome. One of the most stunning and visually amazing cities in Europe that I have been to. It has an air about it, combined with a late summer feeling of activity.
After arriving from Salerno and finding our hostel, we dropped bags and headed in for a walk around the sights of Rome. First was a ride on the metro to The Colosseum. Walking the few metres from the train to see this massively famous structure was one of those great travel moments for me personally. After a few hours walking around, we headed out on foot around Rome to investigate the city a little further and a wander back to the hostel.
The next morning we headed towards The Vatican Museum in the Vatican City. Being a Sunday morning, we watched many people wander towards the main square within in the small country. Following the crowds, we temporarily abandoned our plans to visit the Musee of the Vaticani and follow. Soon, it was obvious, the Pope appeared upon his balcony above the square. Afterwards, we wandered into St Peter's Basicilica.
The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and everything else in between were amazing. After 3 nights, we caught a flight out of Rome to Valencia, to visit and attend the annual La Tomatina.
