Random pics of the eternal city.

So after our very exhausting day in Pompeii and Sorrento we decided to take some sleeping aid so we could actually get some sleep.  We had a lot to do for day 3 and wanted to be well rested and get an early jump on Vatican City... So day 3 starts like this,  SHIT!!! It's 10:05!  See…

My second time in Rome. Still loved it. Lucky enough to be part of the Papal audience. Took the Eurostar to Florence for 1 day. Took a train to Spoleto on my last free day. Had the best meal of the week in that medieval town.

Italy, Turkey and Greece (just a few places I've seen) This was my first cruise and first time traveling out of the states. It was an deal first experience for me.

1.  Great way to see a lot of popular ports in a short time 2.  Excellent way to experience the sub-culture of cruising (of locals and tourists alike) 3.  You see A LOT of ruins/old architecture (if that is your thing) 4.  You experience at least 4-5 different cultu…

The Eternal City

Arrived in the morning. Checked into our hotel. Rested for a bit. Then walked over to the Coliseum, passing by the Forums on the way.

(cont'd...) You see, Rome by many accounts is equally great or could even surpass other cities in terms of the quantity of ancient attractions. In Rome, I bet I have seen more relics of its history per square area of the city as compare to other European cities. I bet …

It was the 8th of November 2007, we flew to Ciampino to show Victoria the sights of Rome. Travelling from Liverpool we arrived at Ciampino airport in the evening, we had booked a hotel in the small town of Ciampino, the hotel was wheelchair friendly and as it turn out was about the only place in …

After checking in to our hotel, we ended up walking around the surrounding area in search of our first Italian meal. We ended up stopping at a crowded cafe featuring live music. The musician playing music had long, extremely curly hair pulled back in a pony tail and was singing a very interestering…

I am amazed by Rome.  There are soooooooo many people here (many of whom are not Roman at all) and the traffic is insane, but there is still this tranquility present because of the history that is all around you.  One moment I was fighting my way through a see of tourists, then I was in f…
