<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">On 6th May me and my two friends went to Rome&period; In March we found really cheap flight tickets so we decided to buy it&period; The trip was just for two day but it was definitely worth it&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Couchsurfing<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">After buying ticket we started to think about accommodation&period; First we tried couchsurfing even if we knew that it&&num;8217&semi;s more difficult to find it for three people&period; Fortunately we were lucky and we found place to stay by this website&period;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Arrival to Rome<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">When we arrived to the airport Ciampino&comma; we were surprised how hot weather is there&period; We were waiting for a bus to the centre and then we were supposed to take another bus to get to the flat of our host&comma; Luigi&period; Unfortunately &lpar;or fortunately&quest;&rpar; he couldn&&num;8217&semi;t meet us immediately when we arrived so on our way to his flat&comma; we hopped off the bus in the square Piazza di Venezia&period; We were totally amazed by such huge buildings&comma; monuments that we didn&&num;8217&semi;t even have words&period; We were slowly walking to the Colosseum looking around&comma; enjoying the beauty of this historical city&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Our host<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">After that we took the bus and we went to the flat of Luigi&period; He came by scooter wearing suit&period; He showed us his flat&comma; his bathroom and &&num;8220&semi;our&&num;8221&semi; bathroom&comma; our room&comma; kitchen&comma; he explained how to use everything in his flat&period; He also offered to us to take whatever we want from his fridge&period; We could make a coffee&comma; tea&period;&period; Everything&excl; He gave us the second key and he left to his work&period;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>First day<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">After chilling time we decided to go to Vatican&period; We visited also the Castle Sant&&num;8217&semi;Angelo&period; Unfortunately we didn&&num;8217&semi;t go to the St&period; Peter&&num;8217&semi;s Basilica because we were late&period; In the evening we got back&comma; we bought pizza and we were waiting for our host&period; He came home and he cooked for us&period; Of course we had to help him and that part was really funny&excl; He just told us what to do&period;&period; &&num;8220&semi;Take this&comma; do this&comma; put it there&&num;8230&semi;&&num;8221&semi; As appetizer we were eating zucchini flowers stuffed with cheese and small fish battered in flour and egg&period; The main dish was pasta carbonara and after that we had toast with mushrooms&period; It was delicious&excl;&excl; We were drinking white wine too&period; We were talking&period; It was such a great evening&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>City sightseeing<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The day after we got up quite early but it took some time to leave the flat so we left at about 10 o&&num;8217&semi;clock&period; Our plan was to visit Colosseum&comma; Palatino&comma; Monument of Victor Emmanuel II and Fontana di Trevi&period; We followed the advice and we went to Palatino first because there weren&&num;8217&semi;t so many people and the ticket was valid for Colosseum too&period; At this moment I have to mention really funny story&period;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h3>Architecture students<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">One of our friend gave us the confirmation of studying architecture to fill it and then we could have free entrance to all monuments&period; The first day we didn&&num;8217&semi;t have problem with that&comma; in the castle we got the ticket without problems&period; In Palatino we showed the confirmation and the lady told us that she has to see some student card where is written that we study architecture&period; That was problem for us so I started to tell her that usually they don&&num;8217&semi;t write the field of studies to the student cards and that we are on Erasmus in Thessaloniki at the moment&period; She insisted to see something so I showed her my Greek student card &lpar;paso&rpar; where is written that I study filology but in Greek alphabet&excl; Even if she couldn&&num;8217&semi;t read it&comma; she seemed satisfied and she gave us the free tickets&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Main sights<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Well&comma; let&&num;8217&semi;s get back to our second day&period; So first we went to Palatino&comma; we were walking there for a long time because it&&num;8217&semi;s really huge&period; It was also very hot weather&comma; I cannot imagine being there without hat&excl;  The good thing is that there are everywhere places where you can fill your bottle with the fresh water&excl; After Palatino we went to Colosseum&comma; it was also amazing&period; Near Colosseum we found the restaurant to eat pizza for a lunch&period; After lunch we were walking to Fontana di Trevi&comma; unfortunately it has been in reconstruction&period; When we were walking back&comma; we found Pantheon &&num;8211&semi; really big rotonda&comma; much bigger than in Thessaloniki and very beautiful inside&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Tasty food<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">To make our day even better we bought tasty Italian ice-cream and we were walking back to Piazza di Venezia&period; Unfortunately we got lost a bit but then we fortunately found the way to the square&period; We wanted to go inside to the Monument of Victor Emmanuel II&comma; unfortunately it was closed at that time&period; So we just went to the shop because we decided to make Greek salad so we needed to buy some vegetable&comma; olives Kalamata and of course feta cheese&period; When we arrived to the flat&comma; we prepared the salad&comma; we were relaxing and waiting for Luigi&period; He came back&comma; he helped us to find oregano and he cooked for us again &&num;8211&semi; pasta amatriciana&period; It was very tasty&period; We were also happy that Luigi liked our salad&period;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div><&sol;div>&NewLine;<h2>Time to leave<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">We went to sleep early because at 5 o&&num;8217&semi;clock in the morning we had to leave to the airport&period; Luigi was so nice&comma; he took us to the airport by car even if it was so early&excl; We had wonderful time in Rome and we wanna come back there for sure&period; Two days are definitely not enough for such a historical city full of stunning monuments&excl;<&sol;div>&NewLine;<div style&equals;"text-align&colon;
