The Roman Holiday .... Day 2

Sunday

Colosseum
As usual, queue was very looooooong ….. luckily there was a guided tours with extra fees, so we managed to skip the line ….for me this is the peak of my visit to Rome…. speechless …..since I’ve been dreaming of being here for a very long time ….. I would advise for you guys to take the guided tour as is it worth every penny with extra Euro 3.50 only on top of the entrance fee Euro 11…. Informative, comprehensive and cool tourist guide! Lasted about 45 minutes and afterwards we’re free to roam inside the Colosseum … did you know that the colosseum was built on top of an artificial lake … it was used to be the garden area for the Golden Palace built by Emperor Nero … and then they constructed the monument so as to forget the memories on Nero as he was a very cruel emperor. And we were told that the chariot fights (something like kereta kuda with 2 wheels tu) never happened in Colosseum as it is very small …. So dlm movie Gladiator tuh Ajinomoto je laa… only fights between Gladiators and wild animals jek happened there ….

Inside the Colosseum

Pose depan Colosseum

Roman Forum
Just dropped by there for quick snaps…. Again more ancient ruins…..

Spanish Steps

The first embassy ever established in Rome which is from Spain…. Of course, lots of steps…. Adjacent to the these steps are the posh area for the brands like YSL, GUCCI, DIOR and friends….

Can you spot me ?!

Piazza D’ Popolo

It’s the north entrance for the city of Rome. This is where one of the Obelisks located. I think it was the largest and the tallest…. About 35 m heights…there are two identical churches separated by the main road….. This was also featured in Dan Brown’s book….huhu suka suka !

One of the Obelisk in the middle of the Piazza.
