Rome - Day 1

For day one of Rome I started with some of the staples and took a leisurely walk through a very historic part of town. Here are two pics of the highlights of my day.

The Pantheon


Fontana di Trevi.


The place is amazing although my feet are hating me after doing this walk in the still wet shoes from Milan.

To try and get a feel for Milan I went for a walk (despite the constant rain) down to Duomo. It is this massive Catholic Church that seats basically somewhere under a billion. Granted it is never full of Catholics.Here is a shot of me outside the church


Inside the ceilings are so high there appears to be clouds forming up above.
Here is another shot of insider as the service began. These pictures were not supposed to be taken, but I didn't use flash so I don't feel bad about them.

Hostel Diablo - Milan Italy

OK so first of all.... Don't stay here. I booked online 2 weeks ago only to arrive and find out that they don't even have large dorms any more. I did however get a "deal" that entailed instead of paying 8 Euros I get to pay 20 instead of the 33 they want for the bed. Granted I was exhausted when I made it to Milan otherwise I would not be here now.


I did manage to talk them down to 18 and change my stay to 1 night instead of 4.... looks like I might be in Rome tomorrow....
