Ciao Roma!

14 - 15 June 2011
Location : Rome, Italy

Took the 6am train from Florence and arrived in Rome at 9am! If it was not for rushing to catch the 6am train from Florence, I would have had breakfast with that lengchai hotel guy in Florence LOL.


Roma Termini Station (their central station)


Had McChicken at Roma Termini station (was so hungry at that time)


Checked into Hotel Eliseo!


I super love this room! Hotel Eliseo is a 4 star hotel in Rome, nearest metro station is Barberini. It's nearby Spanish steps and the Spagna metro station too.


This hotel costs me RM500/night, cos somehow I decided to reward myself in the final European city of my trip, saved the best hotel for the last haha

My room number :)


They have excellent service and they allowed early check-in. I totally recommend this hotel.



Strolling along the streets of Roma :) :) :)

Smiling at beautiful buildings



Italia flags :)


First stop : The Trevi Fountain!


Just. Beautiful.


Threw 3 different Euro coins into the fountain with my back against the fountain, while making my wishes :) Legend says that if you throw a coin with your back against the fountain, you will return to Rome! So I threw 3 coins! Haha


Gelato is a must in Italy!


Had 3 Gelato flavors - Tiramisu, Chocolate and Pistachio


Enjoying my gelato while enjoying the beauty of Trevi Fountain



Piazza di Spagna, where the Spanish Steps are.



American Express Travel Service Office!

An example of a suave-looking middle-aged Italian man ;P




My first day in Rome involved a lot of walking, hence I managed to do most of the attractions in just 1 day :) Fell in love with Rome and its history :)
