Since I hadn't a real propper holiday I decided to treat the wife, kids and myself to some time off.
Had a long weekend last week and it was the perfect opportunity to visit Rome for 4days/3nights.
Thursday early morning left to Brussels South (Charleroi) to go with Raynair towards Ciampino (Rome).
Arrived in Rome at the airport I bought Roma passes. Those passes allow you to use the public transportation for free during 3 days and you get 2 free entrances to musea or historical sites. Furthermore you get discounts for places to visit and you can skip lines where you have to buy tickets if you don't have such a pass.
So there we were in Rome for our first time. Problem number one was already waiting at us behind the corner.
Getting a taxi to our hotel. 7 taxidrivers refused to bring us cause and I quote them '' Iesse too faare, iesse thirtyfiva minut driveuh''
Eventually we did found somebody who was willing to take us there and 70 euros(taximeter) and 30 minutes later we were at our hotel.
In the hotel we checked inn, recieved info about the busses and subway (where to take them, operating times etc.) and a map with intresting sites of Rome.
So off we were to discover ancient Rome. Quickly founded the what we thought subway and took it to our first stop, only to be kicked out by an angry ticketcollector 2 stops later. Apparently going 3 floors underground is not a subway but a train there and according to him a train is not a public transportion vehicle at least not for the pass we bought.
