Italy 18 days travels-Rome, Vatican City

Rome is the 18-day trip to Italy's first stop.

This has a long history like China of the eternal city, there is a huge open-air museum, there are too many things worth slowly tastes. Match wits and I spent three days and a half, only cursory look at the main attractions.

We are in the early morning of 6 points more to Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport.

The airport to my first impression is bad, may be too neat Singapore airport facilities. However, Paris, Zurich, these European cities airport than Rome. I actually had a half-day bother finding a fly flying broken toilet! Customs officers is typical of Italy and easy style, chat edge work, actually almost put chapter covers admission to the month of April I went to France for a visa. Match wits with experience and I like the staff almost put chapter covers his Germany visa. Although Italy's lazy morning heard and Schengen visas are very similar, we are still a little shocked, but the officers don't see date?!

From the airport to the city without any surprises along the way, and we see the travels, Rome suburbs and rural areas in China have great similarity.

Our first day's itinerary starts from the Vatican.

My day is a bit guilty of Halo's State because the usual travel seated accustomed to business class, which more than ten hours in economy class is suffering, barely slept for an hour or two, and aching. Originally, the first day's schedule is the bucket of veterinary field area, because I'm in a bad state, Rome and the temporary jiaoyangsihuo third day's schedule to be brought to the Vatican, mainly indoor tour. Then prove that this is not a very wise decision, because the climb up the dome of St. Peter's Church and I'm awfully, followed three days are a pain in the leg, I cried!

Vatican-the Pope, the small area of only two thirds of the National Palace Museum, does not need any visa, square a gray stone paved road is the national borders.

The main attraction here is St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museum. St. Peter's Cathedral is the world's largest Catholic Church. Church from ceiling to floor, from inside to outside, earth-shaking are precious works of art. But there's paintings and sculptures all religious subjects, with the exception of some familiar masterpieces such as Michelangelo and Benigni's masterpiece, other works, these atheists would feel a bit stuffy. We have also seen just died near the remains of St. Paul's II, a lot of people in the eye piece with tears. Here, there are many later in Italy of the Church, these Christians devotion for the first time I felt a deep belief in the tremendous strength.

St. Peter's Cathedral dome while I was too tired to death, but have to admit that it overlooks Rome city sights of great place.

We chose a more expensive way, because some can be lazy and sit in the elevator, one of 7 euro, but still want to climb 300 multilevel stage. If you do not take the lift 4 euro, 500 multilevel stage. I underestimated the level, often in Singapore, I also fire drills heels on the 15th floor lie! didn't think oh, St. Peter's Cathedral of staircase is almost full circle 360, small narrow. Crowds, one second is not break, look after the breath for a long time. Of course for the overweight person is more painful, we saw a big fat tired United States almost cried! from dome can be seen not far from Angel Castle and almost all of the city. The glory of the Roman Empire although is history, but these majestic buildings in thousands of years later still give praise.

The Vatican Museum is the oldest Museum in the world.

Here is a treasure, I personally think than St. Peter's Cathedral is more wonderful, because it covers the broad, is not only the works of art and religion. The Museum is too big, we actually also took half day visit to, or in a hurry. The most famous nature here is the Sistine Chapel. Here are famous, in addition to the election of the Pope, more because of the great Michelangelo's masterpieces: the end of the trial "and the" Genesis ". The end of the trial "is located in the front wall, filled with despair gloomy atmosphere, depicts the end of the world, Christ to the Nations convened in his sight, out of good and evil. Looks really a terrorist! "the roof of the creation of an area of 300 square meters and consists of 9 sites Center screen, draw the God created the world. This works great spectacular, vivid, really is the expression of language difficulty. It is rumored that Michelangelo's competitors out of envy, encouraged Pope Julius II to let him to paint murals, awed by the tyranny of absolute power, that he was unwilling to complete the pass da. Murals than painting, is very hard work, to a piece of a new manufactured on wet plaster board. Painting usually must be dry before the gypsum board, which is 6 hours to complete. Unfinished pigments into the gypsum board, once mistakes, not like the painting can be overwritten with the new color, on the mural, can only block gypsum board knocked down to repaint. But the genesis of or painting on the ceiling, every station in dozens of meters shelf with head work, working conditions are very bad. Michelangelo creation, declined all Assistant, draw a whole 3 years. His long, he fell on his neck stiffness, does not stand upright body walking, reading a book to read letters and looking to place in the head. Goethe once commented that, "no to the Sistine Chapel, could not understand a person can do. "This really is not fake. We just see, almost broke his neck. I cannot imagine a person so drew 3 years!

Sistine Vatican Museum of fragrance, visitors are naturally the most.

Small a room full of people. A more natural sound noisy where guards every 5 minutes you'll have a yell ' quiet! ', we'll calm down, but the volume in 5 minutes and back down to poor security then a yell, very funny.

The Vatican museums are also very interesting, because

To know the Sistine Chapel is a must-see, probably also fear that everyone ignores them another baby, simply on the ground and circle the one line, with each exhibition hall, hanging from the Sistine go this way. We start also gonna go silly, later found to be a trap. Because the line of people who want to go through countless other showroom, a quicker half an hour before the team into the Sistine. Oh, probably everybody cheated! we later discovered several export approximately 5 minutes from the entrance to the Sistine, really fool away! and then we'd go back and look at the other halls. At the time entry are closed, but almost all the visitors go straight to the Sistine, other halls in addition to staff, only I and match wits in leisurely viewing. Until the fast closed, we are also reluctant to go to run in various halls. Results good staff thought we find Sistine, actually we have driven into the little room. However this works ten thousand times nor the epiglottis. We sat there for a while, he visited the Milosevic's masterpiece, until closed.

In the Vatican Museum's biggest regret is I because the bathroom queues and missed Rafael Studio, alas, half day at the Vatican this treasure is not enough.

Match wits is match wits, he waited for me to go to the bathroom, see Rafael Studio, also photographed, actually did not remind me later know hard not to strangle him had to go back and look at photos!!. Later in the Pantheon of the tomb at Raphael, was still sorry couldn't see his works.

The eastern-most in the Vatican is the magnificent Saint Peter square.

This focus on the essence of each era, the Plaza can accommodate 50 000 people, was held the Holy places of religious activity. Every Sunday, thousands of people in this listening to the Pope on the balcony to broadcast morning prayer, blessing of the Pope. That day the weather was fine, we sat on the square for a long time, take a leisurely look at the people, and pigeons. There are countless Chinese tour stop here for a while, make people returned home feeling alienated, a tourist resort. They are always fast, with "a day" photo, rush to the next destination.

In the square next to the post office, we send a postcard back home.

The Vatican this pocket-sized country actually has its own postal system, it really is worth it. They also have their own army, soldiers clothing special funny, I feel like match wits and unanimously. Harlequin It is said that this dress is the design of Michelangelo, hundreds of years no mistakes!

In Rome the next two days, we'll shuttle to various attractions.

This enormous open-air museum, walking in the street can see everywhere for thousands of years of monuments, beautiful sculpture, solemn churches and splendid fountain. Bucket of veterinary field is to me one of the most deeply.

Young in mind, bucket of veterinary field is the symbol of ancient Rome.

In the movie and the book has also seen a thousand times. But only when we really stand on the stand, imagine 1900 years ago here beast ROAR vibrations, farm xuerouhengfei scenes, realized this thrilling feeling. We are here to stay for nearly three hours. After all these years, the building still stands in the towering of modern urban architecture, the kind of sophisticated coexistence with huge, like a magnificent demonstrations, is now also some fear. We sat on the steps of sunbathing, to describe those here at the completion of the spectacle — at that time, inside and out with distant shipment on marble engraved mosaic, walls every arches are decorated with a sculpture. Bucket of veterinary field on each of the Roman citizens were free, everyone has a fixed stand, stand design fully takes into account a contra. Here you can accommodate 5 000 people, but in 10 minutes you can have all of the audience or departure, badly? middle ground, in sand covered wooden floor and, if necessary, also be irrigation show sea battle. Venue following is not a solid, but the overhead in many of the rooms and the cage. Manipulators can winch pulling the original lift the wild beasts to the venue. The complexity of its architecture, in admiration, but also sufficient for everyone, regardless of race, religion, are also humans for so many years ago can be proud of.

Bucket in the southwestern part of the veterinary field, the Empire Avenue along the left and right now is the center of ancient Rome, including Ceaser Forum, Augusto Forum, Saturn and other ruins of Temple, there are two Arc de Triomphe.

Paris Arc de Triomphe is modeled on here, although a much larger scale, but late 1600 years. Temples are only left a few large pillars, straight sky, become the basis for all future generations. Several forum sites only some ruins, only a few pieces of torn marble floors remind the visitors they had gorgeous. But this site is very large, although it is bad, but it's also is such a taste, very spectacular. But that day the weather was fine and we at the Rome of the tropics in the walk through the ruins of a large, I also put the sauce back pack, find here the Sun than Singapore's powerful times. And so we breath after reading this piece of attractions, reach Venice square, almost collapsed, as photographs of nature is saddening. Next to a girl also heat stroke, Volt in companions personnel. Look at the ruins that day is really hurt, but then saw a similar thing is thirsty headache. That night we decided to make the trip to Pompeii Capri island. Of course, because in the Roman see too many serious things, extreme need to balance the natural landscape.

The mouth of truth is the film Roman holiday give me the deepest impression one of spots.

True to see that people are disappointed, probably because copies to see so many previous Office PA sat next to a swimming pool of water below the mouth of truth is imitation! the attractions at in a darkened next to the little church, very hard to find, just see a bunch of people queuing up photography. We all walked up silly, dipped into it, then silly smile, and take pictures. We had really nothingPictures, are going to go. A sudden downpour on rows were resting team. Fruit as expected, our photos are wonderful silly!

Rome's many attractions are in the streets, such as the famous Spain stage.

We went early morning, not like "Roman holiday" so much to buy flowers, seem a bit cold, but step above the chapel hung out great ROLEX advertising is ridiculous. But it is said that most of the time here is very busy, but a little earlier to taste slowly. Bench front Benigni design heap, fountain also really quite chic, spray from the bow and stern to the water. Spain is famous shop next to the stairs. We have no plans to tour first stop Rome shopping, going to the very famous Greece Cafe. Man, this is too late, the Café is open 10: 30 for lunch, Italy's slow paced life!.

Wishing is also a third Street intersection of St.

We go far to see how some people swim in the pool!? Near saw almost didn't faint, staff clean pool, fishing coins! I and match wits are down, thinking to see spring water that didn't have to throw coins. Had to sit in the pool, take a close look at the sculpture, the four young girls on behalf of the quarter, following the sea life is real like to walk on from sitting down. Is getting ready to go, HA HA, spring begins welled up, the original clean end! we happily holding a camera and camera shooting indiscriminately. Of course you want to have a water fountain before vivid! 10 minutes, the pool is filled with spring water, and we began to stables have to throw coins. Of course, first wish is to return to Rome. It is said that from here each year, the government bails out coins up to 5 tons, used for the relief of the poor. I also threw a match wits and two.

From wishing to go to Pantheon only takes a few minutes.

Pantheon is the home of the gods, from the outside looks is an ancient stately. The sky's design was Michelangelo is called ' Angel design '. Lighting from below looks very good, small a cave, but let the entire lobby is very bright. Standing in the middle of the Hall to see the little blue sky, a little frog in the well feeling.

At noon we went to the Nuovo square, where Benigni's famous fountain of four rivers.

This square is a good place to look. Square many buy paintings, painted the portrait of the spot also, there are many blacks selling fake brand bag. In fact, the whole Italy sells fake packets of blacks monopoly. Not to be missed are the dove on the square, dogs and tourists, it is said that there is also a good place for locals and leisure. We sat on the square on the edge of a restaurant to eat lunch, the price is not cheap, but be there have a leisurely afternoon was good.

Caracalla in Rome in the South, is a relatively dispersed attractions, but we're going to look at.

To tell the truth and bucket compared to the veterinary field, the attractions of 6 euro tickets a bit value, even the English voice introduces no rent, that is the system is broken. But anyway, we witnessed such a spectacular beach. Scale, Oh, I see there is no more than a beach. Bathing in the then use actually talk now looks like, just have a shower, but there are a variety of entertainment facilities, as a very important social occasions. We went a bit late, no tourists. At sunset by bathing sites more rustic splendour, it seems here to shoot wedding photo effect should be first class.

Castel is Rome's only we did not like to visit attractions, because that day climb Saint comparable Church dome overdraft too much strength, there's no effort to Castel, sitting here looked.

This is one of Alexander the great in the Castle, a thousand years of history. Castle of Angel bridge span before the Tiber River, there are nifty Angel statue, a statue are serene silence,. Tiber River flows through the city of Rome through. In Roman mythology, heard many times the River, it has high expectations. In fact, this is really just a dirty little river, water is not deep. Above there are as many boat tours for visitors, I see no interest in the River.

Rome Street there are many free drinking fountain spout.

Travel books say these are the pure underground mineral water, absolutely no problem. We were brave, or drink a lot of hand-washing face, is very cool and pure. These water fountains are perennial long flow continuously, it is said that the Romans used for several hundred years. It seems that the ancient Romans also very clever.

Rome has so many beautiful and refined and monuments, if placed in other countries such as Singapore, will be printed on dozens of text of the booklet, surrounded the admission tickets.

But in Rome, a lot of attractions if you only look at the outside, are free of charge. Pantheon and churches are also open to visitors but, apart from the top to free of charge! all probably, including us, are Roman spoiled that in subsequent trips to see other monuments are a bit aesthetic fatigue. In Genoa, saw a group of tourists mad beats a year in the little church, we are in Rome, seen a lot of old, out of the camera are lazy. Really, the Huangshan mountain, Rome return does not look at the temple. Oh, from this perspective, it's a bit of regret to Rome in the first leg.
