Rome... What an Experience!

Wow! What an experience! The moment we stepped foot into our hostel, Casa Olmata, we knew we were in for a treat! The hostel is an old and antique looking building right off the main square near Termini Train Station and oh boy we are glad we are checking out tomorrow. Our room is very dusty and smelly and the shower is even worse! You feel like you are standing under someone taking a tinkle and the water is super hot, insanely hot or freezing cold. There is no happy medium whatsoever with the shower. Also what they said was offered in our hostel isn't even close, its definitely a run for our money! But the good thing is we can get a good laugh out of the situation and really respect the amazing hostels we have already visited. Today we took a tour of Rome and what it had in store for us. The Colessum is magnificent, huge and to believe there were statues lined on the outside that they took down later in the Medieval times. We saw where the Pope stays and the beautiful fountains laid throughout the city. Now, Our bus driver well she was just a crazy lady! She was screaming Italian at everyone in her way and when they say Italy has the highest accident rate they definitely aren't lying! One Taxi even bumped into our bus! The sad thing is, you are safer in a bus then you are walking as drivers swerve to miss you in the crosswalk! Well it has been an amazing experience for us but on May 2, we are going to say "So Long Rome and Hello Portugal!" The good thing is we will have funny stories to tell when we get home about our experience in Rome. But for right now Ciao!
