The Eternal City....

sunny

The past few days in Rome have been fabulous!Italy is amazing, I love it here...it has become my favourite European City!!!I always felt that Spain would be my favourite European country...I fell in love with Barcelona, I adore the Balearics and have such fond memories of my time working in Spain....However, I feel Italy may have overshadowed Spain!!!Rome is amazing and it has made me realise how much more of Italy I would love to see....Milan, Florence and Venice are places I will definatley visit in the future!!!!The food is amazing, the lifestyle so laid back, galleries are incredible as is the shopping!Im transfixed by all these Roman ruins, they are truely incredible....the highlight of my trip has most definatley been the Roman Forum....I could have spent a whole week there, so much too see!!Colosseum was an impressive sight, fell in love with Vatican City, loved St Peter's Basilica....visited Porta Portguese Market in Trastevera...the Spanish Steps, the Shelly Keats Museaum, The Capitoline Museums...The Pantheon, Piazza Navona....Campo Di Fiori....Oh My God!!!We have seen so much in the past few days!!!!Its been incredible!I thew a coin in the Trevi Fountain which romantically means that I will return to Rome, The Eternal City!Heres a few photos from my time in Italy!
