Pizza and the Vatican

May 16th 2008, The location of our hotel was far from all the tourist traps, but with the use of public transportation it was very easy to make many visits to the Vatican, Coliseum, Trevi Fountain and all the rest that Roma has to offer. The places to visit were many, and varied in the content of the history and the cultural aspects. To list all the places would be boring to you, but it is fair to say that all the people that made the history of Italy did not waste the effort on us. We took in as much of the history as was possible and did enjoy it quite a bit. The people that dealt with the tourists were for the most part very pleasant and the tour guides were always at their best. Some of the tours were better than the rest, it seemed that is the way. With the train station right at the Vatican, it was quite easy to there frequently. One afternoon we got on the right route train to get to the hotel, the train was an express and it passed or stop by about twenty(20) miles. The result was a bit inconvenient , but we got to see a lot of the original aqueduct that furnished water to the great Roman Empire. Got on a return trip train and got to the hotel. Quite exciting and worth the extra train ride. After the train ride, we would take a bus that dropped us close to the hotel. We also got to see a lot of car and scooter collisions. Most low speed so not too many critical accidents. Drivers there seemed to take a lot of chances. Lots of Love,
