Roma 9 May 2007


View Contiki camping tour on poppies's travel map.

All roads lead to Rome and here we are now!
How should i describe roma? It's part of Italy but the sights are completely different from Florence. Florence is like an old town in a countryside. Roma is citylike filled with graffiti but clattered with ruins. In some way, they do have smiliaries. When the pope saw how talented Michael Angelo and Leonard Da Vinci were, he invited them to build Roma. Michael last piece of work before he passed away was the Vatican City. He spent 7 years to build it but didn't have a chance to complete it which is a bit of a regret for us. On the way to Roma, we stopped by San Gimignamo. Smiliar to Florence except smaller. It's also has more winery shops as it's near the vineyards. In general, the wine in Italy is cheap if it's produced locally. One bottle of red only costs ard 4 euro. Gan Bei! At night, we have a walking tour to the Trevi Fountain, the amazing pantheon and pizza navona.
