Second day in Rome

Today is a big tourist day for us because we will go to the rest of the sightseeing places. First we started the day with good breakfast. Love the breakfast line here!









Now we had power to start our day. The first stop was at Vatican, st. Petersberg carthidral. By the way, the pope was not there today due to his mission in Praque so we didn't get a chance to meet him in person :p






This place is huge! And very beautiful. One thing I like about this place is everywhere you go you can take a picture! The reason for that is because the illustrators here made off mosaic. So no harm can be done from the photographer's flash.

After the church, we heading to Colosium and Roman Forum. My dad and mom got tired at this point and just want to take a picture outside but not going in the colosium. So me and my sister got to walk around the hiantic stadium with the local guide. It's an amazing place! The guide said this place is a marble quarium for St. Prtersburge and other important places in Rome because this stadium made of marble.



The sun was hitting us bad and both of me and my sister got burnt so we decided to go back to see our parents at the cafe near by. Afterward we went to grab easy lunch around the area.





Next stop is Roman Forum, where it was built a couple of years before the Chrise. Here we learnt that people back then were very genius for achitecture. Here is the first place to have suar system that run underground. We saw the place where Julias Cecar was cremated as well here.









This time we got really burnt and it was only 2pm. I need some rest so I insisted to go back to the hotel or I might faint! Everyone agreed to have a rest at the hotel for 2 hours before coming out for shopping and dinner afterward.
