Chicken noddle at the airport before departure
Long flight, first stop over at Colombo then Dubai and finally Italy.
At Dubai international airport
Fatigue us with greasy hair after 15hours of flight.
Waiting for coach to hotel, free and easy for day 1.
Sub urban hotel outside Roma.
The water here has a lot of dry skin kind of residue, i don't think it's clean even after you boil it.
Our tour guide never thought of stopping by some mart to top up our supply of daily consume water. Up to day 6, we have to roam around each hotel's neighborhood to purchase water from cafe and restaurant that still operates till late. We probably spend about 20-30 Euro purchasing mineral water from throughout the trip.

Few of us gather outside the hotel after wash up to head town.
It's summer time, longer day light, sunset only happen around 9pm.

Figuring out how to go to the metro.
Our "kampong neighborhood", for those who are not heading town, the agency expect them to stay in this dead town and have dinner in the hotel.
1 euro for 45min of transport ride, we used this ticket for bus then subway ride to town.
This station look very dangerous at night when we return, lucky there is 8 of us.
Subway in Italy doesn't seem as dangerous as what others narrate.
Still i would suggest to carry a better quality bag while you travel in Europe. I notice bag with zips like YKY gets very easy to unzip but something like my greenie Kate Spade and Inho's Bally uses bigger zip where there is more friction when you zip and unzip. One of my group member's iphone was stolen without her knowing and the another member's bag was unzip and zipped back in a split of second. Both happen in Switzerland, both are carrying bags with zips from YKY (Adidas).
Italy, the land of painters, graffiti are everywhere.
Spagna station
Spanish steps "Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti", is the gathering place for the Romanian.
Band infront of Fountain of old boat "Fontana della Barcaccia"
Look at the amount of human traffic around this area.
There are Indian everywhere selling cannot make it LV, Jamaican and Chinese everywhere selling umbrella.
Trinità dei Monti church
View of Spanga from the church
The High Altar
My lovely hubby
The restaurant we picked for dinner

Tortellini is disappointing
