Rome, part.2


After exploring Colosseum and taking amazing picture of the site, we goes around the market stand nearby, you may found lots of interesting souvenir of mini gladiator there. Though it was tempting to buy, I decided not to buy those goodies since I’m backpacking travel here :) Imagine that it will be troubling to be brought during my travel time.

Here, you will find a Travel Angel, an agent who will be your tourist info, riding on their two wheels scooter-ride, and answering your question about tourism in Rome, an interesting idea for tourism in your city.

We were planning to go to the Vatican and seeing its famous Sistine chamber, but since it was almost half past three PM and we’re still in Colosseum area, we decided to cancel it. The Vatican itself is closed at 3p, we wouldn't get there on time anyhow.

We are then heading to Pantheon using city Bus. A bit confusing since we have no city map, but thankfully people there are very friendly and helpful (though different person provide different information :D)

The roads in Rome are quite different with Paris. The city’s blocked with a lot of small pathway that leads us to center of the district with its amazing view.

Pantheon was actually build as Romans sanctuary. As usual the architecture were amazing with its Rotunda & Oculus (some sort of a sun hole) on top of it, marble stone used as its floor and mega size building as common structure of Europe’s building. In front of the Pantheon, you’ll find a boulevard where people gathering and enjoying the beautiful sky and amazing calm of an ambiance there. Nearby you will find lots of resto and cafĂ© sells Gelato. You should try to enjoy the afternoon over there and find inner peace of mind while you’re there.

Continues exploring the area, we find a wooden souvenir shop nearby (Bartolucci). The souvenirs they sell are all amazing, wooden creation that very smooth and beautiful in its essence. The wooden maker were also can be found there. This is a must visit shop, and since the goodies are easily carried and no such fragile, I bought one of its cutest product :)
