This week, I'm doing two back-to-back Romes then a six-day Frankfurt.
These are the pix from the first Rome:
"Open Skies 'British Airways' (well kinda...) 757"
Arrival into FCO:
Church, I forget which one...
Some of the old city walls, while waiting for a bus:
Walking the path towards the ancient catacombs:
Waiting for the English-language tour of the catacombs to start, lookie here, it's a vending machine that serves pasta:
And a beer vending machine. Sadly, it was a waste of 2 Euro (nasty beer!)
The entrance. Sorry no other pictures inside because it was verboten:
Various church photos on the walk back to the hotel:
Overlooking the city from the rooftop terrace at the hotel before dinner:
Chillin' on the rooftop:
The Trevistere (SP???) fountain:
Pantheon:
Next day, an island on departure, I forget:
The Italian coast near Pisa:
This is hilarious. Here we are, cruising along in flight, the GWPS starts screaming "Traffic Traffic!" "Terrain! Terrain! Caution, Terrain!" then an Aeromexico 767 passes 1000 feet beneath us over the track about 200 miles off the Canadian Coast (CanadianATC you working?
)
And of course, the Youtube video:
