Italy Trip : Rome and Vatican City

Inside out Colosseum

29 to 30 May 2012

Rome wasn't built in a day

Yes, its true. In this crazy life and time, sometime patience is the answer.

Day one:

Arrived Rome airport around 2 pm after a looong flight. Good weather - hot and cold :) Feeling a bit like soggy spagetti but time is not at our end. Taking bus since its cheaper (€4) to the city centre. Almost one hour ride. Hotel was only a walking distance from Termini station. Nasib baik. Check in and then heading back to the train station. Day time is longer which is good - sunrise at 5.30 am sunset at 9pm.

Take Metro towards Colosseo to see Colosseum from the outside, walk walk and walk towards Fontana di Trevi (make a wish and throw coin) and then walk again towards Trinita dei Monti (Spanish Step). Walk again and take metro back to Termini station at Barberini station. Eat pizza and sleeep.

Vatican Museum

Day two:

Take Metro to Ottaviano For Vatican City - the smallest country in the world - long q but free unless u want to have a seat and meet the pope,  walk to Vatican Museum €15 (the side effect - your neck may be a bit tired), post a postcard and heading to the train station at Lepanto. Exchange at Termini heading to Colosseo. Entrance fee (which quite looong) - €15 which entitles you for colosseum, foro-palatino and forum palatine.

Gila penat. Kaki sudah auto pilot. Terasa sakit. Baru 2 malam. Perjalanan mash jauh. Bought sim card @ termini station from Wind @ €20 for unlimited data package (€6 sim card, €5 calls and €5 for data). Metro cost flat €1.5 one way).

Now heading to Pisa :-)  Ciao
