Rome

Rome was a really cool city, it's ruins were very awe-inspiring, as were the other sights. We went on a "Hop-On, Hop-Off" bus tour which was free with our Eurail Passes, it was a pretty cool way to get a tour of the city, as well as around for free for the day. At times though, the city was dirty and a little uncomfortable; around the train station especially, there were a lot of bums and the area just stunk of piss and who knows what else. For that reason, Rome wasn't quite as enjoyable as it could of been.



Castel S.Angelo


Circo Massimo (Chariot Race Track)

Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II





Arch of Constantine



Pantheon







Piazza Colonna

Piazza Navona








Piazza del Poplo



Roman Forum

















Our Hostel




Santa maria delgi Angeli e dei Martiri (Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs)


Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti (Spanish Steps)












Tiber River





Vatican City




























Views from Pincian Hill









 And the rest are random shots from around the city.





What appears to be a bedbug we found at our hostel, didn't get any bites while there, or find any more, but it was gross.
