So we had a lot of fun long time before we actually met...
.
.
We arrived in Rome on Sunday around 5 p.m. and at 8 p.m. we had our first VT meeting!!!!
Cathy, Gianluca and two friends had picked us up at our B&B and we went to a nice restaurant, had some delicious antipasti and pasta and wine and just the feeling to be with friends!
What a great start of a vacation!
And then we were shown the beauties of "Rome by night" - some of the VT members were out of their minds.........
....... others took it more easily!!!
All in all it was a fantastic two days (well, we got back after midnight..!!!)
After two days on our own, we met Cathy again on Wednesday. She was a fantastic tourguide and led us to the most interesting spots in Rome....
Boy, did my feet hurt!!!
And this is what we saw:
P. Barberini
Fontana del Tritone
Chiesa Capucini (closed)
Fontana di Trevi
Pantheon
San Luigi de Francesi
San Andrea de la Valle
Largo Argentina
Piazza Venezia
Vittoriano
Capitoline Hill....
Heinz and I continued on, but be sure, that we were exhausted in the evening....
We spent our last evening in Rome with Gianluca and Cathy in Trastevere. Once again they proved to be fantastic tourguides, told us of things, that you won't necessarily find in a guide book, strolled through Trastevere with us - and showed us corners, that we would normally have missed!
After a nice glass of Prosecco, we went to a restaurant in the very heart of Trastevere and enjoyed Bruschette and Pizza - and the most medieval atmosphere!
Thanks once again, Cathy and Gianluca for making our stay such a special one!!
Grazie!!!

Tini, how many men gave you yellow mimosas on March 8th? *winkygrin* Great accomodation tip and the pizza at Da Baffetto looks indeed tasty, although I already had a better one in Egg-Leo.
Great tips on Rome. My wife's nick name is also tini and she is also an artist. Looks like you had a great time, Karl
I had another look at your Rome page. Excuse me; Ciampino airport; not Ciampano. Ciao!
Fantastic page! I like the mimosas and the fountains and the squares!
Wonderful page...sterling trip!
Nice page, Italy is on my list for this year. Thought about Rome or Piza. Great tips and photos
did you draw that? amazing!
Thanks for the virtual tour around one of my favourite cities : )
Very nice page--great tips for hotel & eating places. I sure wish I could find a good airfare for next summer!
very nice page, great images. Enjoyed this. >~!
