There was a huge storm in Amsterdam a night before we went to Rome, so I was worried about our flight, but everything was more than perfect at the end. It was a calm flight and we came to Rome around 2 PM.
After we’ve checked-in in our hotel we went for a short walk to Colosseum. It’s always exciting to see those very famous monuments for the first time. I felt a little bit like a child, remembering when I saw it for the first time in my school book and how far it looked for me back then.
I really love Italian cuisine!
I could probably eat pasta every day and finish every single meal with tiramisu. We wanted to learn more about it so we booked a cooking workshop for that evening. First, we made a dough for pasta and our teacher Roberto taught us which flour combination works best for it. To be honest, I was expecting it will be much harder to made pasta, but it was quite easy. We also made amatriciana sauce for the pasta, tomato bruschetta and some antipasti as a starter and a nice dessert – ciambelle al vino.
And I am very proud of us, because it was delicious!
After a nice Italian breakfast and a coffee, we took a walk towards the Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Piazza Navona.
We planned to go to Vatican in the afternoon to see its famous museums and St. Peter’s Basilica. I really wanted to have a guide there, so, after a long search I’ve booked a small group tour in Vatican with the Angel Tours. And it was really worth it! Our guide Alessia took us to the three hours long walking tour around the museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Vatican is so huge and filled with amazing art works, it would be completely impossible to see it on our own.
Museum was amazing, it’s treasuring so many masterpieces of Antiquity and Renaissance time. I especially loved mosaics and the gallery with frescoes depicting old maps of Italy. And the stories behind art pieces – stories about artists, popes and aristocratic families of that time.
After our tour we went to St. Peter’s Square and while looking to the famous basilica, I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of appreciation and respect to all the people working on those masterpieces I’ve just seen. Standing there and looking to the sky just cleared from the rainy clouds really gave me the feeling I am standing on a special sacred place. It was one of the moments I will remember forever!
