Returned from ROME + Putting the Pictures into Context [PART 1]

in #travel6 years ago

Today I returned home from my 7 day trip to Rome and man it was worth every damn minute. I strolled for hours and hours but I feel like I've got the most out of the seven days I was there. And rightfully so, Rome is a city with countless of culutral gems that are worth visiting. And I'm confident when I say that I've seen the best of the best.

You may or may not have noticed but during my time in Rome I posted a picture of the best moments every single day as I had planned before hand. In this post I will list all the picture chronologically and provide some context as to why I chose a specific picture over the countless others I made that day.

The first one wasn't actually taken in Rome itself but in the air. I was lucky enough to sit next to a window on the plane so I could see everything very well (from takeoff to landing). I chose this picture because had been a while since I had flown last and it's always a special and exciting feeling when you takeoff. 

On the second day I visited the colosseum and it's exactly what you would expect, colossal. The colosseum is the biggest amphitheater ever built, you only realize how big it is when you are standing right in front of the main entrance. It's insane how these ingenious Romans were able to put down such a structure roughly 2000 years ago. 

Next up is a panoramic picture on top of the St. Peter's Basilica. Apparently not a lof of people know you can climb the gigantic dome but I did and oh boy was it worth it. The view completely blew me away and the mountains in the background sealed the deal for me. Completely worth climbing the 871 steps.
