Thank you Good morning it is Sunday a little bit over nine we are gonna go out for a nice coffee and some breakfast we’re just gonna look for a bakery and then make it a good day We just had a little coffee and some breakfast there’s so much noise here and but we’re walking to the Forum Oman and we’re going to cross the bridge because we are in castella after we started our day with a good breakfast we crossed the bridge towards the full Romana You can fill your water everywhere here in the city The form of romanam is enchantingly beautiful I’ve been there before but I was still speechless by its beauty it just blew my mind thinking about all of the people that walked at the exact same spot as I did I and I tried to imagine what their everyday life looked like back then

We climbed up Valentine Hill where we stopped for a moment and enjoyed a breathtaking view over the Forum and Rome Been walking around for a while and now we just sit down in this park we’re starting to get hungry so we’re gonna walk again go find a place for lunch and maybe a short stop for gelato because I want something sweet we’re here for some lunch we got a bowl of wine

White wine and David is reading some facts about the neighborhood that we are in right now Thank you After a short stop to shower and change we explored tostava some more [Applause] Thank you we had dinner at a restaurant and visited some shops Christopher is super Lively and cozy in the evenings and we enjoyed some live music and a drink at a small square between the narrow streets of the neighborhood foreign it is a little bit over nine o’clock and

We are having coffee here real quick and then we’re going back to the bakery from yesterday because it was really good today we’re also gonna go to a gallery um to see some art we really want to shoot it yesterday but we were just so exhausted I think yesterday we left our

Place I think maybe at nine and then we walked 25 or something kilometers so our legs were just exhausted but it’s new day and very excited to go into the city again look we bought this tote bag yesterday in a very fun shop they had all kinds of toe bags

And some were a little bit crazy so we decided to go for the safe option it’s really cool I was saying to David yesterday morning that I really wanted to find a cute tote bag and then we did okay Let’s be here One of my favorite things in Rome is the Trevi Fountain David and I both have a great love for the ocean and Detroit Fountain presents Sea Gold Oceanus who stands atop a chariot pulled by sea horses one of them is calm and the other rears which symbolizes the two faces of

The sea and I was just mesmerized by its beauty thank you Walking up the stairs again Spanish Steps again chilling Chilling bench having lunch now Foreign Which is designed by Michelangelo the buildings itself are a piece of art but well-known words can be found in the museum including the symbol of Rome the shoe wolf as well as a beautiful collection of work from well known artists Thank you I changed to dinner outfits and now we’re going for some drinks somewhere I am very excited for a glass of wine and ice cream we started looking for a place to get our daily doses of pushketa Ever made a reservation for dinner so we often had to wait for a table but I actually really enjoyed it as it was a little moment or a drink and to do some people watching waiting for a table Absolutely Good morning it’s Tuesday we are going to the Vatican City today I’m wearing a long dress because we have a dress code and yesterday we wanted to go into the ponteon and I was wearing a bit of a cropped shirt so couldn’t enter so I ran to this gift shop

And I got the most tourist t-shirt that I could find and the guy who told me that I couldn’t enter it liked it too he said very nice so once we arrived in the Vatican City we started at the Saint Peter’s Basilica the beautiful ceiling paintings statues and balconies were mesmerizing

Then we visited the fedica museum where a huge collection of artists displayed but we mainly went for the Sistine Chapel but particularly caught our attention was wenzo Peters Adam and Eve is painted in the early 1800s and it includes more than 200 species of animals and they are painted with such

Precision that it makes it look almost like a photograph we both really loved it and we lingered around it for a moment oh foreign City not just a museum but overall it’s now two hours trying to find the X-ray the exit yeah we had to go through at least five gift shops to

Find the exit every commercial yeah but anyway I’m really happy we did that because last time I was in Rome I didn’t see the Frederick City it’s now two o’clock so we are starving so we’re finding a place for lunch and then I can properly talk and function Again

David has toast with hummus I have a sandwich with Falafel and hummus thank you On our last night in Rome we went back to Detroit Fountain and we had some drinks there while admiring its beauty Then we went for dinner at this restaurant with typical Italian food both with so many vegan options and I had the best Tiramisu which was the perfect way to end our time in Rome Thank you Thank you
