Back form the Med.

[Guardian85]

Having taken a LOT of pictures on my recent trip to the Mediterranean, I thought I might share a few of them here in order to instigate massive jealousy towards in all of you. 

Here are a few from the first day in rome. Mind the old rocks:

Me at the Colisseum

Constantine's Arch
The Emperors personal entrance.

The square building is the old roman senate building.
The Pallatine Hill

More will follow.

Nice pictures, Guardian85.  Hope you had a really good time.

I really do need to go to Rome. It's really not that far away and it would be a sin not to!

So do I. Just had a look on skyscanner and you can get flights for as cheap as £48 return (and that's in August!), with prices that low it seems criminal not to.

Small arena at the top of the Pallatine Hill.
Temple in the Forum. The pink marble in the collumns is worth 17000$ per square inch!
A good view of the Forum Romano.
A Well preserved roman aueduct.
Circus Maximus

Thanks for sharing your photos, Guardian85. I am envious, indeed.

I really should go myself. I walked through virtual Rome in the Assassin Creed II and Brotherhood game but it's just not the same

Old Roman Domus (appartment building). Still in use.
The monument to the unification of Italy into one state.
The Tiber River and The Castello d'St. Angelo.
The avenue leading up to St. Peter's Square.
A few shots of The Vatican.

Hey Asmo!About that Death Ray you were working on...

Looks like fun! I would love to go to Italy.

I loved Rome,
Especially the Trevi Fountain, the statues, the old buildings, the Geleto.
In NZ you don't get to see any buildings 200 years old let alone 2,000 years.

The view from atop the Castle is great, get to see the whole city.

Much of it is visually ravishing and the Italians do have a joie- de-vivre which paradoxically the French, despite inventing the phrase,  signally lack. My daughter has netted herself a Sicilian boyfriend and with visions of  exotic, sun- filled,  Marsala-drenched holidays to come,  I have warned her that if she chucks him ,I will immediately disown her. Kids nowadays are so selfish and think only of their own happiness.

I had the good fortune to live in Italy for 3 years (1972-75), and still think it's one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world. Plus, it introduced me to espresso, cappucino, and vino rosso. Ah, the beginning of a life-long love affair.

I thought yours was  a life of rigid asceticism and  incessant self- flagellation.
