Around 6.30 morning in Rome, we finally step on the land of Rome... While waiting for luggage , all the girl rushing to the wash room to clean up. Cause we going to start our tour after this...
TOUR BEGINS......
The 1st point is THE COLOSSEUM, the greatest amphitheatre of the antiquity, it was built in Rome about 1920 years ago. From Rome airport to the destination about an hour, cause not only Malaysia got traffic jam Rome also same thing...
After Colosseum, went by to bus to next destination; FONTANA DI TREVI. A string of legends surround the Trevi Fountain, which is situated amid the labyrinthine street off Via del Tritone. People said, if you throw a coins into the fountain, you will back to Rome in future.. But too bad both of us got no coins in the pocket.
And of cause must try the famous local Gelato Ice-cream....
And walk to the Church Magrippa, which build with huge pillar.
After lunch break we back to the Trevi Fountain, to see another famous fountain.. We like the fountain more, cause the surrounding is so romantic.. Is much more spacious then Trevi and a lot of Art artist drawing & painting
PIAZZA DE SPAGNA , a charming square in the city. Its unique shape and narrow in the middle. Surrounded with many branded shop but shopping mood not on yet..
Everyone was told careful on snatch thief, is better protect my bag then shopping... We decide walk in to a coffee shop had some cake and a cup of cappuccino... Is not the best but good to experience...
After finish, we gather with others go to the next stop Vatican city visit St. Peter Basilica Church, its also known as the centre of the Catholic world.. This is a supered beautiful Church, if you see clearly on the painting of the wall, you can actually see is 3D art orh. (of cause my picture cant show you that, you have to explore yourself).. Impress??
See, JJ laying on the floor??? silly question?? I just want to show you all around Italy is using this kind of material on the road, and advice those pretty girls don't wear thin heel shoes, it may get STUCK ..!!After so many places of cause is the time for dinner and ready for checking it Hotel... We going to a very Italy ambiance restaurant, got Italian couple sing OPERA for us some more....
Do you realize that not much foods picture i upload?? I think is our tour package problem, most of the foods is "so so" only.. We do think that Hotel breakfast is nicer... But one thing is quite console, all the Hotel is very comfort and spacious..

About an hour plus reaching to Florence, there is the local guide waiting us there. Florence is a small city, most of the people moving around with bicycle or walking.. Walk about 15minutes reaching to Cattedrale de Santa Maria Del Fiore, like the tour guide said, the cathedral is just like the huge poster in front of you... Very beautiful.
Piazza Della Signario the heart of the historic center and a free open air sculpture exhibit. The tour guide is telling us a lots of the historical story, sorry to said that my history exams is always failed is really quite bored for me... But he teach us one thing... We was asking few minute before he heading to others place, and he told us "ok, 10minute Rome time" (which means have to punctual like a Rome's soldier)
Last check point before we checking in Hotel, of cause is dinner time lar... Apparently is was a very famous steak house in Florence..
To be continue
Shopping @ Venice ...
