Me, blow 600k? How nah!

To get a visa you need to show evidence of funds to support yourself during the trip, that does not mean I going to spend it all. If only you know how long it took me to save it up.

Meanwhile, about business fetching money. Money no go fall from heaven do better thing money go come, na true talk I de tell you so oh!

My email is on the blog! Let's talk!

Sorry but couldn't find it... I've thoroughly searched the blog! :/

going through ur thread like this.....

@wanderlustain:
Please how do you do your online booking? I mean what type of credit card do you use for your payments?
I am wondering if Naira mastercards still work in Europe?

Wanderlustian I am awed by your honesty. No bragging of money figures. I am also looking towards going to Italy next year on a road trip. Then Paris, Amsterdam, Switzerland and many more. Maybe one country per year. Let me make use of my stay in Germany which enables me to travel to other European countries without needing a visa. I saw megabus on your picture I use Megabus too. Its incredibly cheap.

Interesting so far......

Thanks dear. I'm learning a lot from your experience.
Keep moving!

wanderlustian:
We were too tired to endure an 8hr bus ride to Rome, so I booked a 1 night room on booking. Com and voila! A 2 bedroom apartment shows up for 30 euros all to myself
I quickly booked it and took the underground metro there for 1.50 euros. Have a look around the place. I wish I was staying longer

Seeing Europe through your eyes op,nice one!! what is this I'm hearing about free movement in Schengen countries? I hope to be in Germany soon for my Masters and I have this dream of visiting many of these countries I see on TV. Is it possible for a student in Germany to travel about just like u are doing?

U are blessed as U update us... It's well

Hello good people!

I was dog tired yesterday. I can't believe how soundly I slept in a hostel full of people. It is remarkably clean. Too clean for comfort. I have stayed in hostels in New York, the second one being the worst experience in my life. Infact, it is a story for another day.

I'm very comfortable here. I have a lot of help with the baby, most times she's entertaining people from other countries who have never interacted with a black baby. We have some girls from Brazil, guys from Croatia, a guy from Meykiko (that's how he pronounces Mexico), a Korean guy who thinks all black people look alike, while I think all asians look alike, some Americans, a guy from Morrocco and his buddy from Algeria and yes, the Nigerian girl, who is for obvious reason my bestie here.

I chose not to go out today. It was too hot!!! Gosh! I stepped out to get some milk for the baby and it was burning! I went back, took a shower and went to bed. All the oyinbos wore their tiny shorts and tiny tops, excited to be in the sun.Me and the 9ja babe told them goodbye. While we stayed back and turned on air conditioner to full blast. Hian!

The baby was also very tired, she spent a lot of the day sleeping, and I was glad we did not go out... I'm ready for a full dose of crankiness if we don't go out tomorrow as she is well rested.

The Nigerian girl was also on tour. She lives in Lagos but started her tour in UK. She arrived late last night and was robbed of 100 pounds on her way to our hostel. She said someone bumped into her, said sorry and moved on then when she got here, her 100 pounds was missing! Luckily she had a bit of cash hidden somewhere in her luggage.

(I de fear Roma already o!). The initial hostel she booked was in a shady side of town, and it was sht dirty. She was able to get a space at ours on booking dot com that's why she came in that late.


Late evening, I got really hungry. I'm fed up of Italian food. There's a kitchen in the hostel so I put the baby on my back (yes, naija style) and went to the supermarket. I got a lot of stares and oohs and ahhs, some people actually came closer to observe how the baby was strapped to my body. One man asked how safe it was to have her on my back . Some Italian women could not get over the possibility of her not falling. All I could think of was hunger. These people don't know what's up.

I looked for noodles, Ramen noodles was 1.79 euros a pack (Una don de madt abi, 1 indomie for almost N500), I decided to go for rice.
After shopping, got back to the hostel, met the brazilian girls making pasta and we got talking about our countries. One of them said there are a lot of Brazilians with Nigerian heritage in her city in Salvador and they have maintained it over the years. After cooking, the food was too much so I shared it amongst the house mates. The Brazilians thought it was to spicy (peppery).The Mexican, Moroccan and Algerian felt it was just perfect. The Italians felt the rice was undercooked and the Korean did not understand the food! Lovely experience getting feedback from different nationalities about my cooking.

I also shared in the brazilians' pasta meal...I felt it tasted bland, like ordinary tinned tomatoes, no pepper no salt!

It's friday night, everyone has gone clubbing. I think I am the only one left in the hostel. Tomorrow, I take a hop on hop off City Tour Bus for 18 euros around Rome. I'm done with trekking abeg! First stop the Colosseum and the ruins next to it.

As scheduled, I will attend mass at the Vatican on Sunday. It has been confirmed the Pope will be officiating, as the mass will be dedicated to World Peace, especially due to terrorism and all that. Some girls said they were turned back from entering the Vatican because their clothes were too short and their shoulders were exposed. Luckily I came with church clothes. Entering the Vatican is free but the Colosseum tour costs 12 euros.

As my Italian friends will say Ciao (sounds like Chaaoh, not ceeaaoh)

I done wait u tire oooooo... u just the nyt beautiful... wish u guys all the best.. the naija wah her money miss tell her to shine eye ooo nah lagos bois full rome oooo.. say me well too little babe. love u guys

I have been following your thread for a while. I had to login back to say YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. I can't believe i'm really enjoying ur adventures as if i'm the one experiencing dem. Greetings to our little tourist too. Thumbs up.

aminho:

Thanks!!

nice update

Wanderlustian
Good updates once again very very good job
..You are a natural travel blogger..I think you should consider extending it into a vlog..

Having said that I plan on touring Europe this winter (winter because that's the best time I will get my leave from work ) with my BFF from UNI days.I so have Rome on my list..your blog is really helping and like I keep reiterating I'm keenly following..

Quick questions

1. What's the name of the hostel?
2.Are the dorms male only and female only?
I ask because on hostelworld app I keep seeing only female only and mixed dorm rooms no male only dorms. My friend is worried more about sharing a dorm with a female, though I'm ok.

Ciao

One year tourist visa from German embassy?

Yes dear

About time I did another tour

On the big bus waiting to start the tour.
Tour buses leave from Roma Termini

1st stop is the Colosseum.

From Wikipedia
The Colosseum or Coliseum (/kɒləˈsiːəm/ kol-ə-see-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [amfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand,[1] it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72,[2] and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus.[3] Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).[4] These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).

The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators,[5][6] having an average audience of some 65,000;[7][8] it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Although partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and has also links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.[9]

thats As Roma symbol.. woooooooooow... its lovely.. did u see Roma captain francesco toti great them for me ooo

We approach and pass through the Piazza Venezia

Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome.

One side of the Piazza is the site of Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Altare della Patria, part of the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy.

The piazza or square is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. The main artery, the Viale di Fori Imperiali begins there and leads past the Roman Forum to the Colosseum.

We passed the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary Majore).

The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsanta maˈriːa madˈdʒoːre]; 'Basilica of Saint Mary Major', Latin: Basilica Sanctae Mariae Maioris),[2] or church of Santa Maria Maggiore, is a Papal major basilica and the largest Catholic Marian church in Rome, Italy, from which size it receives the appellation "major". The Basilica is located at 34 Piazza del Esquilino, some five blocks southwest of Stazione Termini.

The ancient basilica enshrines the venerated image of Salus Populi Romani, depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary as the health and protectress of the Roman people, which was granted a Canonical coronation by Pope Gregory XVI on 15 August 1838 accompanied by his Papal bull Cælestis Regina.
