For the middle part of my spring break I decided to hit Rome for four days with some of my new friends I met in Edinburgh. I flew in on Wednesday March 27th. It was a long day of travel that included a flight from Prague to Brussels, a layover that was supposed to be two hours turned into three, the flight from Brussels to Rome and then a train from the airport to Termini Train Station. It was the largest station I have ever seen with over twenty-five platforms. Very easy to get lost. My hostel was impossible to find so I ended up taking a taxi there. I arrived that evening, unpacked a few things and headed out to find some true italian pizza. I was not disappointed. The next morning I met up with my friends and we all walked around just exploring the city. The second day of our trip we went to the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Both were just outstanding. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take any pictures so you will just have to trust me. It was breathtaking. The next few days we went to the colosseum, Spanish steps, and the Trevy fountain. The last day we decided to get some food and just sun bathe on one of the grassy hills next to the coloseeum. As we were relaxing, there was a big wedding party taking pictures. Can you imagine have the colosseum in the background of your wedding pictures? So neat! The most important topic to mention in all of this travel was of course the amazing food. I thought I ate my way through Prague. That didn’t even compare to the amount of amazing food my friends and I consumed. From pizza to pasta to paninis to tratorias and right down to going to the local grocery store and buying mozzarella balls, salami, focaccia and olives for dinner. It was all so good. Next stop is Firenza, Italy = Florence!
