Italy 14-day free line Rome and Vatican City (3 days)

Day 1 near Rome

Rome is the world's leading tourist city, so long ago I heard that Rome is a thief.

With such an impression on our Saturday noon Rome airport.

According to Lonely Planet and other Raiders, we get out of the airport Leonardo Express--direct city centre train fares 9.5 Europe.

Next to the train tracks, we would have quickly found Leonardo Express brand, 11 euro bought tickets, but also didn't think. When asked where the conductor on the bus, she said that seven individuals can go. I really wonder, is there for seven people on the train? by our four people, we followed the appearance of the driver. Out of the building, we've got a business car. At first I thought it was sent us to another platform, soon discovered that the car was headed straight for the urban area.

The Leonardo Express-business cars only took a half hour stop in the center of Trujillo, Minni (Termini) railway station.

And then I repeated questioning the Raiders did say Leonardo Express train. It has also become our puzzling mysteries.

Minni from Trujillo (Termini) railway station began I follow venere.com to hotel confirmation letter on start looking for a hotel booked in advance.

Our two respective pulled a big box to walk in the small stone paved sidewalk, wheel scraped surface sound "freeze" earthquake days of bone. Find the address is located, I dumbfounded, here in addition to the gate closed apartment building. Do venere.com also fooled? hold hope I find Internet Bar on the left side of the apartment, Miss India is certainly a salesperson shook his head in wonder. I also find the ice cream shop, the right one was enthusiastic Italy girl zone I closed the door to the front, show me on the edge of the door bell, one of which was marked with the "Auditorium di Mecenate third floor" is what I want to find the Hotel. I secretly blame myself own carelessness, profuse.

Something is not yet over.

Rang the Bell, microphone came a burst of sound in Italian, then the door opened by clicking here. We go in, you see a kind of old Shanghai in the last century of the elevator. Outside a door, there is a painted red so small that no longer tiny elevator. Red elevator door to open manually from the sides. We have two big box and myself into the elevator, pressing the button on the third floor of the elevator are rigid. We can also withdraw from my first to the third floor wishful.

Come to the third floor, silence, or without the shadow of the hotel.

Was no way, I have a family to Bell, until there is a door with an old too. I use English asked her where can I find a Hotel? Old lady mouth a big bunch I couldn't understand Italian, but she's pointing gestures unequivocally pointing upstairs. I suddenly think of Europe, 3rd floor is our fourth floor, hastened to say thank you and then go straight to the fourth floor, managed to find our hotel.

The receptionist is a India guys.

He is a passionate immediately as I go downstairs, hands-on demonstration showed us the elevator must be outside the door is closed, the elevator to go up. Because the elevator is too small, I can only make him, Vivian and luggage go up first, they go up.

Obviously, this is Italy Government encouraging people to organize the results of the hotel.

Later discovered that Italy is the home renovation of the hotel. All rooms are designated must have just good to hold one bed and two bedside tables and a smaller turning away toilet! breakfast is delivered to room, restaurant province. Our hotel has 10 bedrooms! benefit is fairly clean, close to the red line Metro and the bucket is very close to the veterinary field.

Day 1: Holy Roman Church

Waiting at the hotel packed with parity, and Mindy, and her husband rendezvous is almost a little this afternoon.

We decided in the remaining time casual walk.

Roman Catholic headquarters Vatican's location, in a small area of Shanghai is located at 900 in the Church.

Because the Church is the home of believers, so don't accept tickets! we just five minutes walk from the road outside the Cathedral of our Lady of Santa Maria Maggiore began our trip to Rome.

According to the Church I have also read a lot, Canada, United States, Barcelona, Czech, Shanghai, Seoul, was never this feel a sense of the sacred.

Chancewould day is Saturday, the Church is Church. And TV see sermon, the Bishop (or the pastor, unclear) singing hymns. The Bishop's voice is very nice, solemn song across the marble blocks of Cathedral, people cannot help but feel AWE.

Leave the Notre Dame Cathedral, walk 10 minutes to the Republic square, we again see a name with Maria Church-"Angel of the Santa Maria Cathedral Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli dei Martiri".

This time not only to sing, and people are playing a four story building pipe organ. This Visual effect plus a hymn, I almost feel the call of God!

Angel's Santa Maria Church has a few unusual places: first of all it is ordered from Michelangelo a reconstruction of the ancient Roman baths, Abbey and the houses of the left has been integrated, but retains the right at the ruins; the other churches of two copper door has a modern feel of very strong relief.

The Church's name is called Basilica, it shows this is specifically for the commemoration of the Virgin Maria and building of the Church. Virgin Mary's private chapel by bath remodeling ... well, the baths of ancient Rome should also be considered a sacred place?!

Day 2 morning, Vatican Museum

/p>

The second day is the last Sunday of April, as planned, we visit the Vatican museums, because each month of the day ticket free, can save 12 Europe!

Vatican Museums for their sponsors Pope Palace collection of rare artifacts and art treasures and specialized construction, so in itself is a fine art.

Even out of the Office of stairs are personally designed by Michelangelo. For this reason the Vatican museums are tourists must-do, queued super powerful, maximum record is four hours. We have a breakfast at the subway, 200 metres from the Museum begins a queue. But really waiting at the door, we found that in fact, the shape of the team are very complex and is arranged, sometimes the small intestine of a colon-arranged, so real team is very long. We have a total row for half an hour more to go, also with rain!

European history and art in my mind is a paste, I seem to have never confused what the Gothic and Romanesque respectively, or Zeus and God.

When I saw the Museum provides Chinese voice Wizard with joy, and immediately paid 7 Europe put a similar intercom stuff hanging in front of him. Whenever I see a painting next to a digital, it was in the "radio" and press the number of Chinese interpretation is dismal. In the Vatican's vast sea of art treasures in this way, we go more than three hours, so then I habitually both in Rome and see what you want to find is there beside the numbers, you can easily know the ins and outs of them.

The Museum is the most famous Sistine Chapel frescoes.

That is an auditorium large room apart from the floor all have a pattern picture of mural painting. Although Chinese explanation, but because they is too much, my basics too poor, or listening to a very blur. But to be sure, those by Michelangelo in the 20-metre high ceiling paintings of the genesis of really amazing, I and other tourists as half a day is not a step to step, the result is this small church was really packed by people, which have security issues. I can think out of the frescoes on the ceiling is how to draw? hand to reach the ceiling, from a very old and recent, meters, how can guarantee he painted stuff ratio right? it is said that painting the ceiling of the scaffold is also the old own m, must also be a genius-level scaffolding! see Museum exit stairs will know that it is absolutely wonderful.

Day 2 afternoon Vatican-Saint Peter's Cathedral

From the Vatican Museum out hastily eaten lunch, we went to St. Peter's Cathedral.

Vatican City is the headquarters of the Catholic Church, the headquarters building is the St. Peter's Cathedral, the world's largest churches, can accommodate 60 people.

(Quietly tell you, is in fact a Pope do not allow other local recycling than the larger church. ) But on the richness of the treasures, it is estimated that really is but the Pope is in the Church. Although God chooses to live here, but the Tibetan countless treasures of the Church is afraid of the bad guys or trick. Tickets free of charge, but before entering the Church, so we needed was a row of the moment.

Thanks again for the rapid growth of Chinese tourists, here also provide Chinese pronunciation guide! we a person paid 4 euro, bet, starting to follow the wizard Passport guide lines.

First visit of a cellar.

There are brightly lit and placed a lot of carved stone box. One of the front of the box for many people, closer to a place also in the presence of many flowers. I suddenly understood to come here is the history of the Pope's grave, the most popular rock box is the 2005 death of Pope John Paul II's sarcophagus. We came all the way to come, but not to look at the cemetery. Thought here, we walk quickly away.

Just walk into the Church we walk, because the first statue on the right-hand side is the 24-year-old Michelangelo carved the Saint when elegy, this church three Town Hall, one of the treasures, many tourists here a long time did not want to leave.

Critics say millet put hard white marble carving out the our Lady of Sorrows. Hsu is this work really is too precious, and it actually began with a glass partition, very rare in Rome. This church all paintings are also affected by the exceptional treatment, the original has been moved to a Museum, placed in every picture here with a small mosaic. Do not look, really don't see the mosaic art.

The center of the Cathedral is the St. Peter's throne, below it is Saint Peter's grave.

Over a dozen metres away there is a rope to keep the visitors close to that only prior contacted believers mission is admitted. I just feel boring, suddenly heard a Taiwan girl next to the tourist guide is vivid and explaining the Church than our funny voice speaks the wizard. So, I and Vivian mechanically follow this guided tour, soon she becomes aware. Female tour jokingly to each of us 50 ohm.

St. Peter's Cathedral took 120 years of history is built up, splendid, wonderful, we saw for half an hour has not finished, already very tired, but still are too lazy to go to the roof of the stairs going to watch the whole breathtaking Saint Peter square.

Think of our own is really a good person, I left mind think of is that this tiny place in the Vatican really much heap up!

Day 2 Fort St. Angels and the angels and demons "

From St. Peter's Cathedral, St. Peter's square, go straight along hundreds meters came to the Fort of Saint Angel (Castel Sant ' Angelo).

In fact, our feet and one within herself from St. Peter's Cathedral directly leads to St. Angel Castle for the Pope in the necessary time to escape. Dan Brown's best-selling novel "Angels and demons", the story is built around this within herself.

St. Angel Castle was Hadrian Emperor's mausoleum, later turned to defend a bridgehead in Rome.

Their appearance and inside the ancient remains are placed bombs and guns in full swing and straightforward it is aA military fortress. Called "St. Angel Castle" in the name, the legend is because the black death pandemic in advanced, Pope Gregory I dream of holding sword Angel in this building, near the black death pandemic. In order to thank Angel, Pope lives in this building with a large bronze statue of an Angel, and renamed as the "Fort St. Angels." Association the bridge next to the castle was named San Angel bridge, the bridge there are 12 statue of Bernini's Angels like carved, each Angel in hand as the instruments of torture when Jesus inmates.

Across the bridge, three-round two turned to Narbona Plaza, looked at the art of the artist and the Angel and the devil "is also mentioned by four rivers fountain and Egypt Obelisk.

Then, we ate on the side raw ham, Salami and looking black people on the square to sell fake designer bag. They are usually three gang, one hand while holding a package of four, five, rarely on the floor as if ready to escape. I thought Italy caught off-brand can be very severe, tend to my fake Gucci wallet stay in Shanghai, to borrow a particular brand of wallet. It now seems that the Government of Italy also open eye to eye.

3 days and the same old ruins luomadoushouchang

In the morning from our hotel by walk 10 minutes to the guys of luomadoushouchang.

This "Lei" to me is the first to hear about fighting animal farm and then heard of Rome.

Although in the picture, countless times on TV read it, but it still makes me feel awesome.

As far back as 2000 years ago, the ancient Romans was able to produce such an ambitious and elegant building, it is so incredible. We bought Chinese speech Wizard that is actually a huge bucket of veterinary field at the top of the original there are white cloth used to rain the sun visor. When you need to use more than 1000 workers while at the same time working to hold up the cloth. Not to mention the support fabric machinery will have more complex, in the absence of the microphone, I can't imagine how can allowing them to more than a thousand individuals at work?

And also let me moved incredible is that such a great thing, and the Romans did not cherish.

The history of the building contractors to steal bucket marble veterinary field than damage caused by the earthquake. Those who do not know now marble in which the Church of Rome.

This incomplete bucket animal farm can still bring to Rome expensive tourism income.

We entered the door, two costumes in the ancient Roman soldiers who asked us to do, each traveler 5 euro, unlimited number of photographs. They also will scrupulously put on various forms, be sure to make you satisfied. Row but Vivian, we took several sheets. Estimation of their business.

If the bucket is veterinary field "torn beautiful" flag, it around Augustus palace ruins, ancient Roman Plaza site, the site of several temple it can only call it ruins.

Or just leave a facade or leaving only the root of the posts. But watching these sites, or can you imagine those glorious times of ancient Rome. If you are not so many around speaks all languages, I might really have the feeling of spatio-temporal confusion! the opportunity, should be in the evening to see.

3 day buses and handsome guy

Rome full of attractions, from the bucket of veterinary field out our hiking one wheel Rome: Tura's column, the Venetian Piazza, the motherland altar, wishing pool, Spain stage, flower ...

Has one wheel for three days, Vivian start to stand out, the requirements must take the bus back.

Because we are in the Vatican Museums tickets are not required to pay, and doesn't need a ride, so start didn't buy 20 euro's Rome Pass. A get on the train, we took out coins is ready to buy a ticket, but the driver he kept waving won't pick up coins, as if seeing a plague. When the car has been opened, we cannot go on. Dozens of companies, always obey the law of rice Vivian started dreading the idea of evil, and free riders in her brain persist, so we at the next station to get off.

We continue to one wheel, only lost, resulting in the opposite direction and go wide and discovered.

Vivian couldn't, decided to take the bus. This time, Vivian's edge actually stood a handsome guy, Greece statue-like head and Wentworth Miller of temperament! Vivian was fascinated, evasion of anything thrown to the winds, straight bemoaned in embarrassed to take my camera out.

This trip to Italy before colleagues repeatedly asked me to put more beat Italy.

But world conscience that the innocent are not see what handsome guy, had met a standards-compliant and have no way to take pictures!
