ROME ITALY

Spanish steps

Today marking the day 22 of my journey has stopped in rome , italy. Was in rome for 4 days 3 nights. I stayed at the 6bed female dorm at alessandro palace, which is located 5 minutes walk from termini station, the main train station of rome. Room was charged at around 26 euro per night, exclude a 2 euro tourist tax fee per night.

I think the price for the hostel is quite reasonable as it is located right in the city. Throuhout my journey in rome, i met this friendly cute sweden girl whom appear to be my roommate - mika. We decided to go check out the colosseum with another guy - ahmed, from eygpt.

The entrance fee is 12 euros. While we were queuing to buy the tickets, we randomly start talking with this two friendly cute ladies from US and we all end up checking out colosseum together, lunch and also dinner.

We are lucky enough to get invited to join the dinner together with their friend whom is working in rome. She brought us to a restaurant where i am sorry that i do not know the location. I love it there as is so cosy. Price is so worthy, you order a glass of tall lager and italian buffet, you pay at only 11 euros. Great deal.

I am a person whom love graffiti so much, so when i saw these train full of graffitis, i am so exicited. Train routes in rome is so simple as it only got 2 line. Metro A & metro B. Single trip cost 1.50 euro, while a 24 hour pass cost 6 euro. I basically only get by single trip as most of the time im on foot, exploring the city.

The another interesting things happen was joining this party at the hostel and i met these bunch of crazy travelers and crazy drunkers, australian, US, korea, etc. We all had fun and accidentaly knew one of them - john, is a bboy too. ha ha.

Meeting new people during travel is quite amazing, even tho is just a day but memories remain.

On my last day at rome, i decided to check out VATICAN CITY by visiting the museum and sistine chapel. Tickets are at 16 euro. The museum is massive and sistine chapel is amazing. Too bad, no photos allowed. Below are some random photos taken:

Before i ended my blog for rome, ive randomly picked some photos to share here as most of the photos i have already uploaded to facebook.

I am blessed to have the chances to visit these places and also meet new friends. Hope we all shall meet again soon.

Next up, ATHENS, GREECE.
