A Day in Rome (Colosseum, Piazza Venezia,Roman Forum)-Part 2

So, continue from the previous post on Rome..After Vatican City, we caught a bus to Piazza Venezia..okay, what's this place about?? Its at the central of Rome and the former embassy in the city of Republic of Venice.
Piazza Venezia..in the middle of Rome..nice isn't it?

Taken up on top of Piazza Venezia..can you spot the Colosseum from here??hehe
Okay, then after Piazza Venezia, we came to this place called the Roman Forum..It is te heart of the city's commercial, political and social goings-on thousands tears ago..
Well, you can't visit Rome without going to the Colosseum..Nothing beats settling your eyes on this building for the very first time..It's the home to brutal battles between man and the beast, the Colosseum is an imposing building and is Ancient Rome's most symbolic.

Need to walk around 10 mins from Roman Forum to Colosseum..

Colosseum pics..
We didn't enter as you need to pay 10 euro's and according to my friends, its like old structure, nothing much to see inside..unless they have some battles, then maybe would go in..But anyhow, its just fascinating if you could come and see this Rome wonder yourself..Don't Miss!!
Ciao..I think i will update on another part of rome..maybe next week k..till then see ya :)

When we reached there, we grabbed a bus to Piazza San Pietro..Piazza San Pietro is the middle and the centre of Vatican City..Let me bring you a tour of Vatican City..


Before entering St.Peter's, the first thing that strickes you is the square and the number of detailed statues which overlook in the square.

The front view is the Piazza San Pietro..pic taken in front of St.Peter's Basilica..

In front of a fountain..Reminds me of the show angels and demons..hehe

Here I am, with the background of St.Peter's Basilica..

Florence

Hey!!! How are you all doing there??Just reply me through the comments..hehe..want to know how are you all doing, or mail/chat wit me also can.

Anyway, want to share with you some of the pics of Florence which I went around during my past weekends..Actually, last Sun(1/11), I went to Siena, but didnt have time to transfer the pics yet, but anyhow, these pics were taken on 25th Oct..Went for lunch first, then walked up to Piazzale Michelangelo, and I am sure you all know who is he right? At least you all have seen him before somewhere..hahaha

Piazzale Michelangelo was built in 1869 to plans by Giuseppe Poggi; it offers a splendid panorama of the city. But before that, while we were walking, took some random shots which I would like to share as well..

Myself at Piazza Della Repubblica..Piazza is a square, a big and huge place where people walk, gather..You will see a lot of Piazza in Italy..

My colleague frm Msia, Thileg, giving some donation, because he wants to take pic with him..haha

The climb is tough, but the view is great (adapated from Hanna Montana)...
