Some photos from Italy!

So, I have finally got around to adding all the photos from my trip to my computer, and start to put them up here. I hope that you enjoy them. I've only done a select few. Leaving out the really boring ones. Like you'd want to see all 1500 of them! Enjoy the few I do put up here.

Just so you know, they are large photos because I didn't bother to downsize them before putting them up.

First up, some of the Villa Guilia - our first stop on the trip.





Next, the Portico of Octavia and the Theatre of Marcellus




Reconstructed section


More will come in the next couple of days.

All roads lead to...

Rome...the Eternal City.

There are lots of things to see and do in Rome. For one thing, I'm going to be going there for Uni this coming Summer. However, there are going to be about three days around the Uni time I'll be spending in Rome on my own for sightseeing. This shall be great. Looking forward to it immensely. Yet...I've seen some of the sights already. I mean...I've already seen the Colosseum, The Forum, and (anyone who knows 'Roman Holiday', the movie) The Mouth of Truth. I'm planning on visiting the Pantheon as well as the Spanish Steps, as I didn't get the time to the last time I was in Rome. One day and a half is just not long enough.

What I would like to know is any other interesting places anyone thinks really worth going and seeing. I have a Lonely Planet guide to Rome, but there are so many different things in there - narrowing down the list is really a very good idea.

So...input people! Please...tell me any places that you consider most important to visit! Even a short little day trip as a suggestion - I'm up for it.

N.B. - One of the days I'm in Rome will be NYD - don't know whether this will affect things or not.
