Last night we landed at Charleroi Airport, Brussels exactly at 11.00pm after a 1 hour 45 minutes flight directly from Ciampino Airport, Rome. It was quite windy when we leave Rome, and it was about 11 degree, and we were greeted by the chilling night of Brussels of -3 degrees and the snow we had left 4 days ago was melted in some places in Brussels. The pilot was really superb, he landed the flight very smoothly and he did deserved the claps from the passengers upon landing.
It was indeed one unique experience visiting Rome, Italy. And what makes me said that, one need to see the real life of Romans in Rome to actually define their lifestyle and culture. After several trips around Europe's major cities, I think I might have develop some sense of impressions about Rome. Some of us might agree upon one matter, that is the historical places are really exiting to visit, but perhaps there might be some other who might not agree upon the other matters, which might inappropriate for me to put in writing here.
Oh, I promised to share some pix from our travels. And here is some glimpses of Rome for all to see.

this is a view of Rome Capital from our tour bus...
the famous entrance to Vatican City..
souvenir stall at Castel Sant' Angelo
and the view from Castel Sant' Angelo
Christmas Market at Piazza Navona
.......................................................................
There were few other places we went at Rome, such as the famous Pantheon, the legendary Fontana Di Trevi, and the Spanish Step. Will upload the pix later, still haven't got time to transfer the pix to computer.
My overall comments, well, Rome is indeed one best historical city to visit, and again Romans IS Romans as the were known as to the world. Haa.. Don't ask for detail, I have no comment! But in some ways I do enjoy the trip. Maybe next time we'll visit Florence city, which is famous for its beauty as well as historical background. Or maybe it will be good idea to put into thinking about visiting Eastern Europe in the future..
p/s- ah.. pardon my English..

Very interesting journal of your Rome visit, nice pic too. Will be visiting Rome in March, do recommend places to eat.
Ciao
Florence
Thanks Florence. Pictures always great to look at. To me, Rome is somewhat unique, and very different from other Europe cities. I couldn't guarantee the high expectation of Rome, but if you love historical sites and ancient architectures, you'll really enjoy the stay. There are several places you can go and eat. But since we stayed at friend's house, most of the time they prepared lunches and dinner for us.
They are plenty of McDonald's around, and at the Termini station, the bus central, there's plenty of cafe. There should be no problem for you to eat at Rome.
In March, it will be spring. I don't know what to expect to wear during spring at Rome. But, I suggest you to bring along umbrella or raincoat, it will be quite handy.
Good luck for your visit next year!
