Rome, what can I say about Rome, it was wonderful, it was a very buzzing city, we arrived at during the evening and went for a walk around, walked past the colosseum and i was amazed at its hugeness. It was massive. We walked around and to the centre of town and saw the Trevi Fountain, where you make three wishes mine didn't come true. It looked great under the lights, you saw Zeus in all his glory. We then moved on the pantheon which was this beautiful church they had just finished the service when we arrived.

After the morining in Amsterdam looking at the museum, we got back on the bus and headed towards Germany, on the way we stopped at the Dachau Concentration Camp, we were at little unsure of what to expect.

It was a very raw video and I didn't realise how much people had suffered. We looked around the musuem and went in to the [View Full Entry]
