I have observed following show:
"Far journey begins with one step ..." - I am trying to write about travels. Traveling is my way of spending free time - traveling with my family and friends. During trips I take a photos to freeze reality and have opportunity to return to these places ...

My week in Frankfurt
I had an opportunity to visit Frankfurt (Frankfurt am Main) and spent one week in this business and financial centre of Germany. Located on the river Main, Frankfurt is the financial capital of Continental Europe and the transportation centre of Germany. Frankfurt is home of the European Central Bank and the German Stock Exchange. I didn't have an camera, so I took some photos using iPhone.

Rome - Day 4
Saturday
was last day of our trip to Rome, next day early morning we would have flight
to Warsaw. This day was dedicated
for Centro Storico – Pantheon, Plaza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori and many other
interesting and worth seeing places. We started at Santa Maria del Popolo church. As I mentioned
in this church you can see paintings of famous artists like Pinturicchio, Bramante, Rafael, Caravaggio
and Bernini –
all for free.
The Pantheon is a very recognizable building in Rome. Since the 7th
century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs". In Pantheon there are tombs
of famous Italian like Wiktor
Emanuel II, his son king Umberto or artist Rafael Santi.
Campo de’ Fiori – colorful market in the Rome full of fruits and vegetables.
We checked squeezed pomegranate juice from fresh fruits.
Piazza Venezia –recognizable place in Rome. Beginning and the end of the
tours of Rome.
Trevi Fountain – Rome’s most famous fountain.
It was the end of our stay in Rome. It was very exhausting time, but
definitely very interesting. We discovered Rome - and saw many interesting
places.
I still remember such picture in my memory - the elegant man with a
cigar in his hand passes to the red light at the intersection among of honking
cars and scooters.
For me it is the symbol of this town …
I would like to visit Rome again in the future, but then I will try to
do as princess Anna in “Roman Holiday” said:
“I'd like to sit at a sidewalk cafe and look in shop windows, walk in
the rain.
Have fun, and maybe some excitement …”

Rome - Day 3
This
day was dedicated to Vatican. I bought tickets on the web earlier (again - it was great thought)
so we had to reach meeting place near Vatican Museum. It turned out it was not good
idea to visit The Vatican Museum in May – crowds of people were everywhere. We spend 4
hours in The Vatican Museum and in The Basilica of St Peter – definitely these places
are worth seeing, but May, June, July and August are not the best time to do it. Our
guide told us, that in high season in the Vatican is about 17 thousand tourists per
day – wow, it is not perfect time to visit these beautiful places – the Vatican
Museum, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica of St Peter.
After
four hours we had spent in Vatican we ran away to Piazza del Popolo and we found restaurant on one
of the streets near square. We ate very good lunch and went into direction of
Villa Borghese and we spent nice time in Rome’s most famous park. We hadn’t tickets and tome to
visit Museo e Galleria Borghese – which is one of the city’s best art
galleries, housing the “queen of all private art collection” – Caravaggio,
Bernini, Boticelli and Raphael. The collection was formed by Cardinal Scipione
Borghese, after whom the museum is
named.
Next was long stroll to Piazza Barberini to
see Fontana delle Api (Fountain of the Bees). It is a small fountain, that was
constructed in the year 1644, in honor of Pope Urban VIII Barberini. The large bees that characterize the
fountain are there because the bee was the symbol of the Barberini family.
