I made a wish at Trevi di Fontana

The first time I fell in love with it was because of a movie,
the movie is called The Cinderella Story I think, by Hilary Duff.

At that time I told myself, I am going there someday.

I made it finally.


KL to Dubai - 5 + hours. Dubai transit- 4 hours! Dubai to Rome - 6 + hours. Torturous.


This is what a stack of RM10,000+ turned into. A thin stack of Euros. +.+


The bridge that links Rome and the Vatican City.


St Peter's Basilica. Look at those carvings!


Photo taken by my sis, she chopped off my feet!


This is just a tiny part of the basilica. They called it basilica for a reason.


Yes, it was filled with tourists! Look at the line!


The Swiss Guards. Somehow their uniform looked weird, it was designed by Michelangelo.


The Colosseum, I need a wide lens to take a full picture of it! Argh.


The tiny shop just outside of the Colosseum, Panini con Prosciutto!


Aiyo, daddy blocking my background.


The arch of Constantine.



Trevi di Fontana! One dream down and more to go.


I found this in Google:
There is a Roman legend,

bound to this old fountain,
that if you throw a coin in,
you'll oblige the destiny,
to let you return here.

I threw a 0.10 ringgit coin in, wonder the fountain can recognizes Malaysia Ringgit?
I will return to Rome someday. I know I will.

Yes, filled with tourists! All my pictures have "add ons". Still, the background is amazing.



Gelato! One of the things I miss about Italy. It was lovely. The gelato is almost as good as Gelatissimo, the only difference is a cute Italian guy is scooping my gelato. Tehee. That's my sis at the back btw, enjoying her hazelnut gelato.


BLACK spaghetti! I saw it for the first time in my life. Made out of cuttle fish ink, wonder how it would taste like? Anybody interested? I bought a packet of these.


p/s: One down and more to go! I still have Florence, Verona, Venice, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Vienna and Fussen! So many LARHHHH. Hope I am not lazy.
p/p/s: I wish my birthday wish would come true. Only partially came true for now. @.@
