*oh la la~mamamia~

Bella Italia~

Woke up at 3:45am in order to reach the airport to catch our flight to Roma Italia~ *cue Italian accent*

Our group consist of Sandra, Duygu, Dilek (Turkish trainee in Hamburg) & Ioannis.
We arrived at Roma Ciampino airport on Saturday morning and checked into our hostel...then erh....we...went....erh... oh no.... i just got back from Rome last Monday and now i totally forgot the order of our trip... We visited so many historical sites and churches until i can't remember the names. Next time I should blog about trips the day after and not wait one week later.

Let me see, we visited the Colleseum, the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon, Casa de Navona and our favourite the Fontana di Trevi. (And lots of other piazzas and countless churches)Basically I've covered the places where all the cardinals were killed and where Robert Langdon was in Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons.

Colleseum is awesome.... Vatican...for me...nothing really special...oh oh! We 'met' the Pope yo.... ok ok ...we didn' meet him per se...he was giving a speech from one of the windows .. anyway...

The most memorable part of the trip for me was being in front of the Fontana Di Trevi at night, eating Italian Gelati with your fellow buddies, watching the world go by.

Second memorable part is the Sistine Chaped, staring at the infamous ceiling that Michaelangelo painted. It was definitely worth the 8 euros (student price) ticket. :P

hmm....what else.... ok....unmemorable moment (but ironically will definitely cannot forget).. we missed our flight back to Berlin cos of the bad Italian traffic. :(
We might have wished a wee bit too much at the fountain. :p

Some obligatory touristy photos ahead.... :p
