Nice photos! The interior of the Church in the 6th and 7th photos were especially beautiful. Do you have any pictures which show more details?

I'm afraid not, I saved my details for structures and paintings/murals in the Vatican ;).
Thanks!

That would be even better! Looking forward to more pictures. :)
By the way, the 4th photo of the Pantheon; isn't the photo flipped sideways? The words look like they would viewed through a mirror.

Heh. We both photographed nearly identical things.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Finished my two days of Rome (quick trip for father of my bf). And my photos share the same baseline ;)
But by god, Rome looks more run-down every year. Someone should use a part of the ton of money they rip off of tourists in the maintenance of the city...

I found it to be amazingly cheap. 16€ for a weekly ticket for all public transport? 12€ for the colloseum + forum romanum? 9€ for the camping site with tent, beds, sheets and blankets included? Free water everywhere?
