Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

ITALY | Thursday, 22 November 2007 | Views [379]

The Piazza della Repubblica. One of the round-a-bouts that I wouldn't even attempt if I was driving in Rome. Beautiful fountain and surrounding buildings however.

Sarah engrossed in the local street press. After checking into the hostel (this trip has reminded me why I've upgraded to hotels!) we were off to find a great coffee and panini. Didn't take long.

This is the Trajan column which was raised in honour of the Roman Emperor, you guessed it, Trajan. The column is famous for its intricate relief which commemorates Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It was completed in 113. Personal highlight - the sky in the background!
