Europe: Day 1

Italy: Rome, Vatican City

Finallyyyyyyyyyyy ~ After 11 hours in the air we finally arrived in Italy around 6am (12pm Malaysian Time). Not feeling sleepy at all although I haven't slept for 24 hours before I boarded the plane. Have a hectic schedule today. A lot of places to go. Left the airport around 7.30am and headed for our first destination. Of all places, the historic Coliseum. It was where the gladiators fought their battle. As usual, take pictures and walk around the place. Sad thing was we did not have the time to enter the Coliseum. Damn sad man. Come all the way here and didn't get the chance to enter.

After visiting the Coliseum our next destination was the Vatican City. The holy city and the place where the St. Peter's Basilica and the pope resides. The square was beautiful. Full of sculptures. And the church? Magnificent. Everything is breathtaking. The paintings. The sculptures. Look at the walls and admire their architecture. It is just beautiful. It is a very big church. It is also where the first pope was buried. St. Peter himself. A lot of people as usual. Very crowded. Took some pictures there and walked around the church and then left for our next destination.

Next up was the Spanish Steps. This is the shopping area of Rome. All the branded shops are there. From LV to Versace and Prada to Gucci. Everything is there. Didn't buy anything though. I wanted to buy a LV bag but I think I'll buy it in France. Bought some pizza to take back to the hotel to eat since we are not going to have dinner that night. Overall the first day was okay. Its a nice place but I'm already looking forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be going to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Florence. Will update about that trip. Off to bed now. Till then... Ciao :P

Out.
