Colosseo area

Had almost 4 hours' walk on the arriving day on April 20th...a bit exhausted...just can't wait to see Roma :-))

Walking...and experiencing

Walking, experiencing and imagining the ancient Roman.

Trip started in Brussels

After I decided to take holidays in Rome, I happened to know that 4 of my classmates would also go to Rome, then north of Italy. Their original trip agenda shocked me: 1.5 day in Rome, 1 day in Florence, 1 day in Pisa, 1 day in Venice, 1 day in Salzburg, 1 day in Vienna and fly back from Milan. I tried to convince them to at least skip Vienna...anyway, I got chance to travel with some people from Latin American, spend time together in Rome and got to know them a bit more.
Travel is really a good way to explore people 360 degree regarding their personality, character, attitudes towards money, value of life, way of thinking, communication, intelligence, and physical situation :-)
First stop was Brussels since we all had flights leaving from Brussels airport. Mine left at Brussels International with Virgin airline, the rest of them left at Charleori airport with Ryanair (1.5hr by train/bus from Brussel Midi)

Members' profile (a bit joking :-)
Doris (31, Nanjing, China, at least a good follower and good accompany)
Miguel (29, Mexico, tried to beat lowest spending per day at euro1. Commented "Women never think." Gee...sorry for Mexican woman)
William (34, Columbia, seldom remembered the places where he had been, "I don't remember.")
Jamie (35, Peru, nice guy but addicted to pictures and often asked "where me? I am tired.")

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:it is an open museum
