Rome - the eternal city

---

3 nights in Rome, the eternal city. Enough to have sore leg muscles 😊
It was very nice ... the Colloseum, the Forum Romanum, all the "piazzas" (squares), Vatican ..... all the pizzas, lasagne, capuccino, tiramisu that tastes so differently in Italy 😊
Every huge crowds of people .. ! Probably never seen so many tourist in one place.

In Vatican museum I met an Italian girl I remember from PayPal, where we started our initial training in the same group together. I recognized her, she remembered me. Now she is working as a tour guide.

I uploaded few pics. Did not take many photos, I think there are lots of much better photos online of those monuments and art pieces 😊 (actually, this time I preferred to shoot a video)

these and other similar small cars (even smaller) are all over the Rome. I have never seen these elsewhere, I dont know what brand it was. Very practical in the busy and narrow streets of Rome

These guys might seem soooo romantic :) They will give you a rose (or three), even if you show that you don't want it. But shortly after that they ask to pay for it of course :)

I see you had a nice time in Rome, no pictures from the interior of Pantheon? This building is great, a real piece of architecture.

common Dennis ...
... we were reeeally exhausted every evening after walking in the city all day long ... that should answer your question :P Andre, no, no pics from the interior ... I took a short video inside. Once I process it (compress it to divx), I'll send it to you.
