How to visit Rome again
It made me
happy (:
 "the most breathtaking city in the world."
How I did it: Well, my cousins live in Scandriglia which is about two hours outside of Rome. I visited them for most of August and every week we came out to Rome (: I've been here before (many many times) but seeing it all over again was just amazing. Lessons & tips: None really, except take the metro! the metro (even though its quite small and the A line is smelly) will take you to every major attraction. and go to local pizzeria's and restaurants (esp the one in front of Termini, near the McDonalds.)
Resources: My family. |

I went two years ago and i really want to go back sometime. I doubt i will for a while yet though as no-one will go with me.
Saving up!

Saving up for the Italian trip for 2009 (or later). Now it has a somewhat date I might be able to concentrate on saving.
and again, and again...

I recently got back from my second visit. And though I’ll wait a while before returning I sure hope to return. Last time I did through a coin into the Trevi Fountain. But I didn’t this time because I heard something about the second coin meaning you would marry an Italian, and I’m perfectly happy in my current relationship… ;)
I found great travel advice at 43places.com and for the first time ever I bought a travel guide (Time Out Shortlist Rome, cost around 12 euro). The guide turned out to be the perfect way to understand what we were seeing and how to plan where to go next. I usually love to wonder, but it helps to have some pointers apart from a map. It’s funny though, that our instincts and the guide very often coincided.
