i`m sorry since it took a long time for me to finish the final part of my story. hehe, i don`t know why it took such a long time, laziness is probably the sole reason. well, i also involved with several things so please forgive me. so as i said before, we continued our journey in italy to the last place that u couldn`t miss which is ROME!! (yeahhhH!!!) as we board off the plane at rome ciampino (airport) which only took about an hour we realised that rome is bigger than we thought. it was quite hard at first to locate our hostel since it is further than we expected. with backpacks on our back and few hand luggages, we walked through rome city searching for ape latina (the name of the hostel) as we arrived in front of the building, i was giving harsh thought to it, since it`s not beautiful outside but as soon as we entered ape latina, i was pretty shocked to find out that it`s not bad at all. maybe i should say that the place was excellent! hm, u really shouldn`t judge a book by its cover. anyway, we decided to have a walk before sun sets down. within walking distance we managed to get to few historic buildings and of course colosseum as well! :) we spent 12euros each (or 11euro? i couldn`t remember) to enter it. yeah, pretty expensive but since it`s probably once in a lifetime chance for us to get there, so why not? we were awed by its beautiful design and somehow i could imagine ancient battles held there hundred/thousand years ago. but sadly, few places were restricted from entering :( i watched jumper (movie) and it showed lower ground sructure of colosseum, i wonder how do they got there?? probably needs a lot of money :( that day was very bright and we enjoyed the sun very much! of course we took lots and lots of pics at colosseum only since we paid for it, hehe. we headed back after that and took good rest after a tiring day.


the next day, we already planned to go through all rome, i mean the city of rome. first of all, we headed to the smallest country in the world and the most saint place for christians which is VATICAN CITY. the most exciting part of it for me was actually because i had a thought of how vatican city looks like since i read of it in the "angels and demons" novel written by Dan Brown. somehow i really hoped that they will register something in my passport so that i would have a proof that i`ve been in vatican city but they didn`t do that :( quite depressing, hehe.

*continued (sorry for really late post)

the next day i`m not sure about them now since it has been almost a year since the event, hehe. but what i remember is that we went to lot of places such pantheon, fontana de trevis ( i`m not sure?! it`s fountain of something) and lots of other places throughout rome. but the most oddest thing was when i saw a pyramid in the middle of city ( misplaced?!!) hm, maybe there is some historical value over that. don`t really bother to look for the detail though.

bla.. bla.. bla.. in the end i went back home with a hole in my wallet (broke!) ;P

thanks (sorry no picture, will update later on)
