Back to work...

Now now... don't think I forgot to make a post about the end of the Rome trip... just that instead of making it a vacation of rest... I got home even more tired than I was before leaving...

So... the rest of the days I spent visiting Naples and Pompeii. Will post here some photos soon.
Also one of the days we went in the Villa Borghese Park and rented bikes... now this is a side story...
My last "adventure" with a bike was in The Netherlands... went to a club with some friends... and the host said that we should go there by car (this father would drive us there), take the bikes with us... he got us some bikes from his neighbours... and we would get back home by bike in the morning after a whole night of partying and drinking... sure thing... only that my previous bike "adventure" was more than 2 years old... but what the heck... they say if you learn how to ride a bike you never forget right? BS... after a lot of beer and a lot of partying... I couldn't ride a bike if it had the tires 5 inches thick... so I had to double ride a bike with one of the more experienced riders... and someone else pulled my bike along side him...
And now I was renting a bike... you would think... what was in my mind... I figured out that now... not being drunk and all... I would be able to properly ride the bike... one think I was sure about... didn't want a regular bike... as I had one when I was little and I would always have trouble with going uphill/downhill ... and the park was kind of on a couple of hills... so I decided to rent a mountain bike... :) good choice indeed... as I got the hang of changing gears quite fast... :) but wait... already changing gears? Yes :) I was on my way in no time... it really was like I always knew how to ride the bike and never forgot... so it really looks like alcohol was screwing my style back in The Netherlands...
Now back to our story...
So... the end of the stay in Rome... I decided it's a good thing to go and see the Fontana di Trevi again... :) So peaceful place... although very crowded... very peaceful... only being there makes you wish you come back again... and again ... and again... and as they say... be careful what you wish for... it might just happen...
Flight back was nice... fast... and back to my sad country...
Stupid taxi drivers... trying to cheat everybody in sight... not that taxi drivers in Rome weren't "smart" too :) they would tax you 2 Euro "bonus" if you got the taxi from the Central Station... and another 1 Euro "bonus" if you had luggage... But our taxi drivers... when we left for Rome... of course we took a taxi to get us to the airport... it cost around 5 Euro... from the apartment to the airport... from the airport to the apartment with a little detour to the train station... and when I mean small it's like another 3 Euro tops from the apartment to the train station... the taxi driver was asking us 10 Euro each... and we were 3... so that's like 30 Euro.. STUPID TAXI DRIVER!!! and when I told him that he is out of his mind... he almost jumped to beat the crap out of me... good thing there was police all over the place and he didn't dare touch me... of course the police couldn't do a thing about the fees the taxi drivers were requesting for the transport... not that the police in our country is really good for anything... but that's a whole other story that I would rather put in another post...
So... being so tired... the next day I got to work... managed to survive the week... actually half a week cause I arrived in the middle of the week...
Having said these... I have the weekend packed... full agenda... hopefully I will get some rest during next week... I really need it...
All in all... I wouldn't give the trip to Rome for a week's rest... :) It was really worth it...
