My Dad used to tell me that we had to go together before he was in a wheel chair.....
unfortunately he never made it. I was able to transfer his huge frequent traveler's points to my account and this was the final trip.
I had been to Italy 3 times with my parents and the last time was in 1974 or 1975.
We spent a week in the Historico Centro or the historical center of Rome. Yes it can be full of tourists, but there are plenty of small streets to discover and shop at.
This is the Victor Emmanuel monument.
It was was built in his honor since he was the first king of an
unified Italy.
That is a must see! Do you need to go inside? we did not.
The thing to remember is that Rome is a museum, so
if you are travelling a budget...you don't need to pay for tours.
you can see amazing art in the streets just like this beautiful doorway.
Or this fantastic fountain.
where do you see this/ in Rome of course!
And you can enjoy lazy delicious meals in these quaint terrasses in the street.
if everything goes as planned (it might not), I will do a series of posts on Rome.
Great restaurants, my hotel, cheap deals...
Thank you and good night!
