First Day in Rome






I arrived in Rome at 715am and found stayed at this hostel called Alessandro close to the Termini main train station in Rome. I was very nice, just like a hotel (swipe card to enter room, clean bathrooms, breakfast include, well you are sharing a room) but i couldn't check in till three. So i had not slept much in the last three days, two overnight trip and a party night on thursday in Paris. So i decided to walk to the Colloseo. Most parts on Rome are walking distance. The Vatican is the furthest which may take you about 1 hour or more. With a map and the help from an Aussie girl, i found my way there. Amazing but tourist everywhere. I decided not to go in, i was tired and didn't want to deal with things. Next i walked up Via Nationale, a major street and did some window shopping. Later that afternoon, i made it to the beach and some major soccer tournament. Pictures to come.
