ROME 2009

With a surprizingly good end to Atelier Marieke and I took off for Rome for three days to unwind and explore. We only had one day to see everything and on that day it rained 90% of the time so now I am stuck with the Roman flu and have legs as stiff as anything. But all worth it. We arrived there and the taxi drive to the place we were staying was more expensive than our flight there. OUCH. That night we made our way into the city taking the bus and then the metro and sat down for a nice pizza and glass of free wine (Italian men are generous) at a little restuarant near the Colleseum. The next morning we woke at 6!!! Eager to get an early start as we only had one day. We managed to fit everything in starting with the Basilica and St Peters to the Sistine Chapel with michaelangelos masterpiece. We then took a little cuppacino break along with a yunny sandwich. Made our way to the Colleseum and then to the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and so forth.. Amazing time! MUST go back for longer!
