So the holidays are over now. On Friday I came back from Rome. It was pretty hot there (about 30°C) but it wasn't impossible to do some sightseeing. In fact after 3.5 days of continuous walk in the city, I almost didn't walk at all this weekend (used the car to go everywhere), my feet were so sore!
Anyway, let's start from the beginning. First, last weekend we went to Piazza Armerina (famous for the mosaics) and Agrigento (famous for the amazing Greek temples which date back to V century B.C.)
On Saturday night we stayed in this hotel:
Then on Monday I worked and on Tuesday we went to Rome. I love this city even though I have never explored it in summer before and I do not recommend it! Lots of tourists, confusion, and hot weather do not contribute to a relaxing vacation. Nevertheless, I'm quite satisfied, we managed to see all the spots I had planned to see, and most of the tickets I booked online which saved a lot of time! Here are some pictures:
1. Spanish Steps
2. Fontana della Barcaccia
3. Fontana di Trevi
4. Vatican
5. Rome seen from the Dome
6. View from Colloseum
