Tour in Italy Days 5 & 6


My final destination was Rome. I went to a lot of places, so let me tell you about two places here; Trevi Fountain and Vatican museums and galleries.

Trevi Fountain is a very famous tourist spot. It is because this place featured on the movies such as “Three Coins in the Fountain” and “Roman Holiday”. I tossed a coin following a local belief. It is a kind of spell which goes like If a tourist stands with his/her back to the fountain and tosses a coin, he or she can return to Rome for sure. I followed this for sure. I shall come back again to Rome!

Vatican museums and galleries have a lot of master pieces. The most famous one is a painting on the ceiling. The second-famous one is a wall painting at Sistine Chapel. On the ceiling and walls inside, the paintings related to the the Old Testament welcomed us church-goers. The works were just stunning. I wanted to take pictures of them, but the museum banned tourists from taking pictures. You can check those masterpieces on the Internet.

My trip was over. Italy is indeed a good place. I would like to go back there again ! (among them, Rome is the top on my wish list.(Blue Sky)
