Back from Italy! Part 1 - 24 hours in Rome!

I am back!
Here's a sample of the pictures... almost 2100 pictures in total Many pages to scrap!
I am back since June 1st - well almost June 2nd as we arrived in Ottawa around 1am. It took me 1 week to sort and select the ones I wanted to share.

***** Make sure to see older post - it's all the pictures from when I was with my sister in Sant'Angelo - 8 days in total! ****** or click on this link!

Saying goodbye to my Stephane

Traveling partners! My Brother and I

The best service ever- Really top notch! Food and all

Arriving at Rome at the train Staying - taking the Leonardo Express to downtown Rome - Next trip - I will want to stay at lease 3 to 4 days in Rome - so much to see.

Near our Hotel


First evening after taking a portion of the bus tour. Near Vatican City enjoying a fabulous meal. 51 euros - each an appetizer, we split the pizza, pasta, desert and a good bottle of wine!

The best Gelato ever - during our diner - we saw at lease 100 Italians turning the corner with each a Gelato and we were recommended from our water to go! Wow amazing!


* NEXT MORNING *

24 hours is really a short stay - but my brother got us ticket for a Hop-on Hop-off Bus - it's the best way to see it all if you are not staying for long.
All photos are taken from the Bus except at the Trevi Fountains
