o I just spent an hour writing, what I’d like to think was a rather lyrical and poetic post about how beautiful Italy is when all of a sudden the internet crapped out. No biggie. I have an auto-saver. I went back into the blog to retrieve my last draft and for some reason, that part of my blog has disappeared. It’s just gone. And so is the fabulous post and I’m really annoyed because I have to go eat cheese now and I don’t want to re-write the whole damn thing. So here are some photos I’ve taken of Italy to tide you over until I can write about my travels without wanting throw my lap top against a wall from auto-save malfunction rage. RAGE!!!!
The Colosseum. We waited outside in the scorching sun and it was blissfully cool and calm inside.
The Vatican. There are these little police cars that do constant circles of the foreground. It looks like the funnest job ever.
Just a random cobblestoned street because Rome. Everything looked like it had been dipped in marshmallows – just this beautiful rosey light everywhere.
This is one of the oldest cafes in Italy – we slammed a few cappuccinos here before doing a lap of The Pantheon. Across the road I had the most breathtaking peach gelato. It had chunks of peach in. For real, hands down best peach gelato ever.
Piazza Venezia. The detail on this building is spectacular. It’s places like this that are a good reminder that putting in the extra effort is worth it. People are always impressed by things that look difficult to do. I was having some good business thoughts as I wandered around.
My staple lunch.
The Colosseum. I honestly could have spent all day here. This is the underground area where they kept prisoners and animals before they came out to fight. It’s quite awful thinking about people casually watching men and animals fight to the death while they calming ate their picnics. It’s weird man.
Seeing flowing water on the street is quite stressful as a water saving Australian but it’s super convenient for filling up your water bottle.
Piazza Venezia. This horse is divine. I couldn’t stop looking at him.
The Pantheon. With a lovely group hug happening in the back ground.
My standard travel outfit. Comfy cotton dress, a scarf to protect my shoulders from the sun and my super comfy Merrells. I could climb mountains wearing this. I refuse to be anything but completely comfortable while exploring.
