We had a quick one day tour of Rome. It was like a historical theme park with dazzling impressions of the Colosseum, the Vatican and fountains.

During my language study trip in Taormina, Sicily, I enjoyed several local excursions. Together with my language study colleagues from the Babilonia Language School I hiked to the top of Castelmola. I also explored Isola Bella, a beautiful stretch of Mediterranean coastline at the foot of Taormina.

Rome Italy The people of Rome seem to like to dress up; I have never seen so many people so nicely dress in one city before. Rome of course bring to mind the ruins of the old Rome from its glory days and the Vantage Tour people took us on a Motor coach (Bus) Tour of the city which was very informative and I put on www.traveljar.com/bellrich with the full narrative. We also went to the Vatican which was over crowded and if I wasn’t with a tour I would wait until the afternoon to visit when the tours were over. I think the best part of our tour of Rome was the one we did on our own. If you do that tour the ruins first and get tickets for both the ruins and the Colosseum and avoid the crowds at the Colosseum.
