of the scenery in Rome.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: There are many busses in Rome, and all of the council operated ones (I think) are this bright orange. You do have to purchase your tickets before hopping on a bus and the little clicking devices are usually found close to the central and back doors. Funny thing about busses in some places though.........take Formia for instance........you have to get in one door and must alight through the central door.............I always had visions of not being able to make it through the crowd quickly enough before the doors shut..............I saw someone jammed one day ........ouch.

Carmela71 Sat Sep 29, 2007 22:31 UTC 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 20:34 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.
