Rome- la vida e bella!
I am taking advantage of the fact that is w/d and Sunday morning to finally post about one amazing city I've visited last week...Rome!!!After a flight of 2 hours I've finally reached my destination..The city of Michelangelo and of Pope, was waiting for me to discover it!..Of course, as nothing goes as planned, on Friday evening I couldn't see anything because of the horrible headache I had..Luckily my dear Georgi come from the city to take care of me:)...
A! I guess I forgot to tell you that one of the purpose of the trip was also to meet Georgi, one of my best friends from Romania, and Oana another dear friend of mine..

Anyway, by 23:00 I was feeling much better do to the care of Georgi, so we went for a drink and a short visit to Oana's friends who came for a reunion in Rome..
My first night in Rome ended around 1:30, without actually me seeing anything of the city...
A different story waits for Saturday and Sunday..Georgi became the guide ( my sense of orientation is very poor:)) and so with a plan already made, we started the journey!!The Colosseum, The Roman Forum, Pantheon (from outside), The castle of the Angel, Piazza di Spagna, and of course, my favourite place : La fontana di Trevi..All this great places were on our list on Saturday..So , by the time we arrived in the camping (where we were staying) we were dead tired and hungry..A nice dinner in a Italian style with Pizza and Pasta, plus a good bottle of white wine was meant to recharge the batteries.. 
The desert was the cherry on the cake, as my mom sent me through Georgi the most amazing cheese cake ever (there is no secret that my mom is an amazing cook:))..and with this being said and done, our beds were waiting for us!!!
I know, we were a bit boring, no disco or clubbing, but to be honest, I didn't miss them at all!!! Has been a perfect day without them...
And Sunday came..my last day in Rome..Vatican was on the list and otherwise only sightseeing..The weather was not 100% on our side, as it was raining from time to time, but we survived..So, we managed to see "another country" as we realized after visiting the St Pieter's Church, Michelangelo's Pieta and after we climbed on the top of the church to see one
of the most beautiful views of Rome..Unfortunately some places we didn't see like the Sixteen Chapel, as it was closed, but this is only a reason to go back..because believe me Rome is definitely a city were you want to go back!!!
Forgot to mention thatI've spent my Sunday night in the airport beacuse I had an early flight, so I was full of energy when I reached the office after 2-3 hours of sleep!! (thanks to @ conferences, of course I didn't have such a big challenge:))
Now, the next 2-3 w/d i don't have anything planned, except sleep, sleep and sleep..Sounds like a great plan as well!!!
