Rome!

So Random. This is the last photo i took in Rome and its the first one you will see... Im not very good at the night shots but am getting to know my camera well. Its the Colusium at night incase you cant really tell what it is.
We lined up for 2 hours to get into the Vatican City. It was so worth it. We got to see the Sisteen Chaple which was amazing. They have professional susshers there doing the shhhh every couple of minutes. Its quite funny. I loved it. THere were so many people in there as well. It was alot smaller than i thought it would be but then again it may have only looked small because there were so many people in there. Many thanks to Justin Trudgeon who gave us the heads up to go straight there when we got into the Vatican City cos as we were leaving there was the line up happening!
This is St Peters Cathedral Where i was very tired and hungry but had to go in and check out where the Pope hangs out. He wasnt there that day Justin so i couldnt say G'day to hime for you. You will just have to come back and say it yourself!
This is inside St Peters. Very very over the top but so nice. I like it cos you are aloud to take photos as well. Its amazing how many places say no cameras.
Here we are inside the Colusium. That was amazing. It was a very hot day too so you could only emagine what it would be like in there with crowds of people. It wasnt very busy when we went in. We walked straight up and got our tickets and went straight inside.


We are now in Rome. This photo is of us sitting on the Spanish steps.
This is the view from the top of the Spanish steps.
The Spanish Steps!

Hanna infront of the Trevi Fountain!


Us infront of the Trevi Fountain.


They say if you throw one coin over your left sholder into the Trevi Fountain you will have good luck. If you throw 2 you will return to Rome. If you throw 3 you will marry an Italian. I didnt throw any. Im gathered by a much greater force than luck. I will return to Rome if i want to and i don want to marry an Italian!!!

This is a street performer that i thought looked amazing until i saw them all over Rome.
The Trevi Fountain again









I have so many photos of Rome. It was one amazing place. We loved it. Our walking tour was 7.6kms and we saw so much of Rome. I didnt want to miss a thing. Walking into the Colosium was amazing. I kept picturing a Knights Tail in my head. Picturing all the people standing around watching into the pits. It was amazing.


Seeing all the ruins was very cool too. They had just recently found more ruins for us to see and aparently have so much more to find.


Sorry the photos are so random but i have taken so many that i just want to put them all on.

    Hanna you have got to be the most regular blogger there ever is! haha.. it's great though! love seeing all your photos!
    I love Rome the best! Especially the Colliseum photos! They would be my fabourite! Maybe its coz i like the architecture of the buildings there and also picturing Gladiator and the like in there.
    Venice looks nice in the photos though. I also loved the comment you said hanna.. i quote "They say if you throw one coin over your left sholder into the Trevi Fountain you will have good luck. If you throw 2 you will return to Rome. If you throw 3 you will marry an Italian. I didnt throw any. Im gathered by a much greater force than luck.
