pesters
by robyn_ough
when sat at the fontana de trevi you need to know 2 phrases in italian. 1. no 2. via via. well you can guess the first one but the second means go away/leave me alone. as if you stand for more than a minute you will get pestered by men trying to flog you aload of s**t. just be blunt or they wont go away. plus you get men giving the ladies roses saying there free don't take them as 2 mins later they'll come back asking for thier money. i love the romans the most they're all such generous, kind and welcoming of people they made my holiday more than the sights.

The Roses!
by Jeannkelly
There I go... smell it! touch it! feel it!!! Roses, roses... oh, I love red, red roses...
But I never knew they could climb like ivies (or bougainvillas!).. oh well, it was something that I discovered...
I love the entirely of this park, with the mansion, the topiary gardens, chapel, fountain and roses!!!
From the Colosseum to the Forum to the Pantheon
by azz8206
Rome is a very walkable city. You can walk in Rome and see so many things. In an afternoon I went from the Colosseum inside and out then walked through the Palatine Hill and into the Forum. I then walked through Piazza Venezia down the street Via del Corso which is right in front of the monument and on to the Pantheon which is on the left hand side of the street, there are signs that will guide you. It took me about 5 hrs and I'm a big guy. And all this wouldn't cost you much money. Only 10 euros for the entrance to the Colosseum and the Forum or if you have the Romapass it won't cost you anything.
They all knew to find this place...
by belgianchocolate about Blues café!
We needed a little break after we visited the
vatican museum and the sistine chapel
before heading to the 'San Pietro in Vaticano'.
I know Blues café doesn't sound too good.
But they had a terrace with 2 tables ,
the sandwishes looked attractive and tasted even
better. Christa enjoyed her way to strong
Italian coffe (which she ruined with hot water)
and Free's panini tasted georgeous as well.
What more would a person wish for.
Seems like all the neighbouring shops knew this
address as well. At some moments the bar
was more looking like a take away.
