Default Rome !

We had never been to Rome before so when our friends suggested a vacation there we said: let´s go !

Here´s the rest of the gang in the Vatican.

An old castle that was used as a prison for a long time. The Bridge is considered to be the most beautiful in Rome.

There are lots of small cars there. I saw several Smart-cars along the streets, parked at a 90 degree angle towards the traffic. They are short !
Didn´t take any pics of them though.

We lived in Trastevere, the part of the city where the workers used to live. That was the place to go in the evening when you wanted good food at a reasonable price.
Our own Superstar Marie Fredriksson from "Roxette" walked by the evening before Madonna had her show in Rome.

Fontana di Trevi !

During the nights the temperature fell down to 80 degrees F. During the days it was around 90 degrees.
I wonder why it took me nearly fifty years to go to Rome. I really recommend going there.

I expected to see a few Ferraris and Lamborghinis but this Audi was the only "Supercar" we saw. Anyone know what type it is ?

Ah Anders, very nice. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. That would be a nice time of year to visit Rome. I expect the crowds weren't too bad.

More pix please. I've not been to Rome, but would like to before too long.

Cool pics Anders...looks like you had a great holiday!.

That Audi is an R8 and definately a modern day Supercar...there's a thread here on them somewhere?.
