First trip to Europe May 2005. Countries visited - England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Austria - Leichenstein.

This was just a quick visit but I dont regret not sleeping properly...I enjoyed every minute of our loooong 8-hour walk in this amazing city that offers more than u can imagine...immediately u can breathe in that air full of the past and the present...that confusing atmosphere forcing u think what the actual date is...so romantic streets with "gelato" & fab restaurants everywhere...mhmmm

My memories of Italy are priceless, Italy is the place I would like to retire. It all began with my summer in 1998 when I spent an incredible time touring the country from the north to the South stopping in different cities/ towns.

I began my trip to Italy in the beautiful city of Rome.  Me, my mother and her best friend met a friend of mine who is stationed in Naples at an Army base at the airport.  We had our first experience with Italian food and the train system.  Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad.  The…

so yesterday morning was not the greatest of mornings.  we all felt a bit hungover and i only got 4 hours of sleep.  but we wakled through this nice park which was pretty empty and then went to the national gallery of modern art and i saw Klimt's 3 ages of woman.  it was beautiful.&n…

So I spent the day at the Roman Forum and The Colosseum.  €12 got me admission to both, so it was well worth the spend.It took about 2 1/2 hours to work my way through the Roman Forum and the ruins.  There is just so much to see you could never see it all.  Just absolutely amazing …

We got to Rome around 12 noon, found a park. and decided to go check out the colosseum and the sights of Rome. That was all lots of fun, but when we got back to where we parked our van. it was gone! We tried a few other streets close to ours, in case we may have be confused, but no sign of the v…

In an often hot and sticky Rome there is a special place, which seems strangely cooler.  The so called Protestant/English Cemetery located near Porta San Paolo. The cemetery was really for non-catholics. It is also along side  the remarkable Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-styl…

7:00 pm - A 45 Euro cab ride from Roma Termini to Via Sistine brought my group--"composed of Isabel, Samantha, Arthur, David, and I--to our home for the next four days and three nights--Hotel King. Hotel King, located to the right of The Sistina Theatre, gave me the impression of age no matter how …

Beautiful Rome -we arrived late friday night after a long but comfortable train trip. We had a short cab ride to our hotel that was located just outside of the Vatican City walls. There we were warmly greeted by the hotel manager who was to prove a true host during our stay. Our first full day we …

This morning’s wake up call came at 5:45am—much too early for a vacation day. But, as our friend Mike says, “You can sleep when you’re dead”.  So, we got up and had breakfast in time for our 7am pick up for the Vatican Museums tour.  We opted for a guided tour in lieu of waiting…

Thursday Our last full day in Rome.  Time to run around to all those sights we haven't seen yet!  We pack up and stow our backpacks with Alfredo.  Buy our train ticket to the airport (where we're sleeping tonight) and then buy a ticket to one of the many hop on/hop off buses availab…

I spent 3 weeks in Italy, staying in wonderful families and travelling to great cities, eating great food and having lots of fun with really cool people!

‘Whoa, I’m still in Rome’ were my thoughts as I gazed at the morning glow on the old stone facades. The view from the old bathroom was breathtaking the rusty old bidet and brass taps completed the Old World charm, no hot water ‘oh well, this is Rome’. At breakfast I had some good conver…
