Now in the coach again for the gazillionth time. On the way to Paris but will probably stop by a town in Beaune for a quick look and maybe roam around the small shops. We just left the Macon area after an overnight stopover. Still need to cover around 500kms before we reach Paris.
What can I say about Rome? First, it was soooo hot. Literally. Roaming around St. Peters Basillica and the Colloseum during lunch and the afternoon isn't the best thing really. The sights were amazing though and our guide made history very interesting.
The highlight for our Rome trip was visiting the Sistine chapel. A local guide went with us and she explained the relevance of the painting up on the roof. It was really nice to see it in real life.
This chapel was also seen in the movie Angels & Demons. It was a book written by Dan Brown. It's a good entertaining movie to watch. St. Peter's Square was also featured in that movie and they even used one of the sculptures on the floor (The West Ponente) as a clue to find the killer.
The Colloseum in Rome is what you see in the photos. Yes, what you see is what you will see more or less. You only visit it just to see it in real life. It has 80 gates back in time and the seats inside depend on the class of people.
I will blog more about the places I visited in detail when I have time after I go home. I'm actually missing chinese food badly. I'm also excited to eat Korean, specifically Bulgogi Brothers.
