Woah what a great week I had! Friday night I came back from my city trip to Rome where I spent the week with my family. I didn't have much sleep during the week and after I got home I just felt like falling into bed and going to sleep the next 24 hours. It was such a busy week. Everyday we woke up early in the morning to have breakfast, and shortly after we spent the entire day in the city. Walking through the city, visiting lots of old historic buildings, taking a break at a Roman-Italian terrace with a yummy caffè latte or latte macchiato, and enjoying our Italian meals were all part of the trip. The days were long, feet are hurting and tiredness is on top, but everything was more than worth it!!
The beautiful Colosseo
Finally I had the change to see 'La Fontana di Trevi' myself. Wednesday the 25th of July was my 20th birthday. At midnight my parents gave me a coin to throw into the fountain and I made a wish. That moment got me.. it was really special. :)
Visiting Città del Vaticano.
At this piazza (Piazza Navona), there were painters everywhere. This is the kind of view I always see in Italian movies or in movies with an Italian twist. Love it!
Il Pantheon
Il Foro Romana took me back in Roman times when Julius Caesar was around. Unbelievable that this place was a huge famous city once. Now, there are only plenty of ruins left: Absolutely a must-see!
Monday and Tuesday the weather wasn't great. The temperature was perfectly fine, but it was cloudy and the sun barely shined. It even rained! And right now I can tell you that when it rains in Rome, it pours. Nevertheless, thanks to Mother Nature as from Wednesday the weather turned better.
Yay! Like I said before.. Wednesday was my 20th Birthdaaay! :)
Ponte Sant'Angelo
The famous Trinità dei Monti.. also known as the Spanish Steps.
The gorgeous sunset when flying back home.
All I can say about this city trip is that visiting Rome is like walking into a living museum. What a wonderful city full of history and culture.
Grazie e arrivederci!
