August 2010
We landed at Rome's Fluminicio around 1pm, it was a scorching hot day and we had to make the short trip across country to Romes historic center, we hopped on the Terravision bus (amazing service, used quite a lot in my travels - http://www.terravision.eu/ ) and for 6 euros each return we set off, not much to say about the journey into Rome i must admit, it was mostly a motorway then through some suburbs till we got to our hotel, we had looked around online and decided we wanted to stay in a hotel over a hostel. We found this little beauty for a very modest price.
That afternoon we set off.
We had our Lonely Planet guidebook from Amazon and decided to start by spending the day exploring the Vatican State, I and my partner were completely taken aback by how beautiful the place was, thriving with people a lot of different nationalities, all here to visit the heart of the catholic church, i am not religious at all but i had to admit to being blown away by the grandeur of it all. It's hard to put into words and as people say a picture speaks a thousand so...
Hope you guys enjoy the photos, all taken on my Nikon D5000.
Arrivederci!
