The Beginning

Continue from Part 1…The next morning, after the breakfast, we planned to visit the Colosseum.

The building is situated in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. It is considered as one of the greatest works of Roman architecture, as this also the largest amphitheatre ever built in Roman Empire. The Colosseum is capable of seating 50000 spectators for gladiator contests and public spectacles. [Read More here]

If you are taking the Rome Metro, you can stop at the station, Colosseo. Once you walked out from the station, the state-of-art building is just right in front of you. There are a lot of stalls selling souvenirs and yet some of them even wear like a Roman soldier to take photo with the tourists. Before you are allowed to visit the building, you have to buy the entry pass, which is around 10 Euro. [Check here for the ticketing]

Rome, ‘the Eternal City’, is the capital of Italy, located in the Lazio region. Rome’s history spans over two and half thousand years, starting as a small Italian village to the center of a vast empire, to the founding of Catholicism to the capital of today’s Italy. [Read More]

I paid a short visit to this lovely city in one of the weekends, while I was working in Milan. I bought a train ticket to Rome and it took around 4 hours to reach Rome from Milan. The train was so crowded, and I don’t even get a seat.

Upon arrival at Termini Station, Rome, we took the Metro to Barberini station. From there, we walked up the hill and checked in to Hotel Ambasciatori, located at Via Vittorio Veneto 62.

It was a long weekend break on the third week of September, due to Hari Raya holiday, which falls on 21st and 22nd September. Yeah, a total of 4 days break from our work :)

I actually planned to have a short vacation on Bukit Tinggi, with Pei Si. It was my first time visit to this highland resorts. Wonder how it looks like, as I received different feedbacks from difference people.

Early in the morning, I picked up my Pei Si and drove all the way up to Bukit Tinggi, through Karak Highway. The traffic was very smooth, and it took me just around 1 hour plus to reach our destination. Fantastic!!! We reached the peak around 11.30am, and it was very crowded, but the air wasn’t cold at all…a bit disappointed of this…

Well, but this is still a nice place to explore and have fun, especially with your loved one :D

We parked our car here, the building opposite to the Colmar Village…

We had our buffet dinner at Le Blason before going out for a leisure walk. The restaurant actually served a lot of varieties, including BBQ chicken, salads, fried rice, brownies, desserts and etc… Yeah, the price is relatively “reasonable” :P
