Salve amici,
Hello all!
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I know there are a few of you here I used to talk to regularly but it's been some time since I was last online. Don't worry, I have a perfectly valid reason for all this.
I only recently got back from a four week romp around Western Europe. Contiki to be precise. I had a brilliant time, something I will never forget. Of course the most memorable was Rome.
A city as brilliant in its contrast (we walked by an Italian cop whoes mobile ring tone was Waltzing Matilda, which scarred the hell out of us Aussies), as it is humbling through its history. I walked through the remains of the Forum Romanorum, saw the triumphal arches of old, stood on the top row of the Colloseum and even stood within the hallowed Senate House.
I have many pics, a few of them blurred. Everyone apparently has their 'Europe' moment, when they realise they're in Europe. Mine was in the Pantheon. So beautiful.
For those of you that haven't been, set your eyes on the Eternal City. After all, all roads have to lead somewhere...
Vale,
A. Flavius
