Rome greeted me very warmly and I easily got to the hotel from the airport. I don't know why, but I was afraid that there would be problems with this. Thanks to google maps! I got there on some bus. At first, I was very afraid that my things would be stolen, so I held my phone and bag tightly to my chest :) People around were looking at me sideways. Some danger is certainly exists, but of course this is not a reason for paranoia... but I realized this over time :)
I arrived in the city, check-in was in an hour and a half, so I went to a cafe, and there, almost by accident, I charmed one waiter. I think he was from India or Turkey... I received compliments from the staff as a bonus.
After checking into the hotel, I went to the city. For a walk. That day I walked 40k steps. On the very first day I saw the Coliseum and many other attractions, the names of which I can’t remember now. I lived in the city center, near the train station. All the attractions are within walking distance, and you move to them through pretty beautiful streets. There are many inexpensive hotels here, which are very suitable for tourists like me, who have arrived for a short time.
At the second day I woke up quite early, ate deliciously, walked around, went to a museum. I thought that I would visit several museums, but this one was very big. Then I went to a cafe, sat enjoying Roman coffee and looking at some cool tower. Later I will return to Rome with a much larger stock of knowledge and will understand what I am looking at, but for now, I am just admiring the architecture :) Everything in this moment was perfect. Coffee, landscape, thoughts, mood. Later I ate a very tasty pizza. Then I visited local shops. For the evening I booked a table at a local restaurant and had a very good dinner there. The food was top notch. As you may have guessed, I ate quite a lot that day :)
On the third day, I was in the Vatican and saw a lot of things. There are a lot of museums and ancient statues. At the evening I met a guy from Ukraine and we drank a bottle of wine together. We had a long and pleasant conversation. Then I went to the hotel and in the morning I flew back :)
The most important thing that happened to me there was a request that I had. To get something from this trip. Not just impressions, but something more. And I acquired a desire to learn more about the history of the world in which I live :) Actually, I am going to start doing this in the near future. So I give the third day a huge like too!
