    • It wasn't until I hiked up Capitaline hill to the museums then further up to get a better view, that I finally realised how huge Rome is. It is all very well looking at individual icons and ruins but high above Rome it takes on a different flavour.

    • Inside reminded me so much of Planco's Mausoleum (the way that it felt inside) that I made that comment to my companion. He questioned - a mausoleum? I said yes. It wasn't until later that I knew that it had indeed started out as Hadrian's mausoleum. Now, almost four years later I can still conjure up the feeling of mystery, and the grandness of the rooms.

    • It was so hot that when we arrived I could have cheerfully stripped off my clothes and climbed in here but I was actually lucky to get to sit near the water and put my hand in occasionally.

    • We didn't stay here for the length of time that it would have taken to refill it properly but definitely long enough to ensure the next trip by the coin throwing routine.

    • It comes upon you pretty suddenly -- a bit like the Colosseum in that it just hits you as being sooooooooo huge. Then if you are anything like me off you'd go into a sort of daze where you would be imagining what it had been like to be there when..............

     Enjoyed your take on Rome and off the cuff commentary. A week next year loks as though it should be stretched to a month if I'm to do and see all the things that interest me. leyle

     It has been nearly 26 years since I have been in rome and hope to get a long weekend break I only visited CAstle S angelo from outside    		kokoryko Fri May 25, 2007 19:34 UTC
     I liked the colosseum aspects travellogue Carole. And as usual, I like the way you look at buildings, at the city, at history. I never visited Castel Sant'Angelo, may be I will have to do one day; it seems it is one of your favourites on this planet.
