It's always a great idea to take the bus tour when you have a very limited time. You'll see more sights in a few hours.
The tour bus we took was a few blocks away from Termini, but the tickets were purchased at a store in the main station. With Rome, we didn't know that there were three different kinds of tour buses plying the same route. So it took a little bit of running to find our bus, which was the lime green bus.
The weather was glorious. Only a few days ago, we were told it rained for days. My friend who I was meeting was worried that my day in Rome would be rainy, but the sun was out and the wind was cool. A great day to sightsee.
My camera did not stop clicking. I must as well admit to the fact that I did not put on my earphones to listen to the audio of the tour. I was into shooting some street scenes. I don't see this often at home.

Very beautiful views of Rome. It's true, the bus is always an excellent way to see interesting perspectives of the towns and to take many photographs!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing on the bus tours, Maria...I take pictures, knowing I can Google the sights later. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I probably would do the same. The audio is something you can catch up with other means. But clicking the camera away (with those extraordinary views) is the best thing to do.
ReplyDeletePS. I love your new header!
I like taking bus tours as well. I just get frustrated when I can't figure out what stuff is later on. These are some really nice street shots. gives you a good feel of the city's life.
ReplyDeleteah...Roma. i miss this place. i have a love and hate relationship with Rome during my university days. and yes, bus tours are totally worth it.
ReplyDeletevery stunning pictures, this is wonderful. How you pick the spot, the angle and the light ray. so excellent.. i like this kind of scenes
ReplyDeleteYou are very adventurous... I rarely take buses in strange cities because it is hard to find out where they go and where they stop.
ReplyDeleteI love Rome !
As Charles Dastodd wrote, very nice street images.
ReplyDelete«Louis» thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo!
Ah yes! When in Rome, just snap away and take pictures, pictures and more pictures! =)
ReplyDeleteNice street scenes!
A bus tour sounds like a very good idea, even on longer trips. You can always go back to the places that interested you during the tour.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for clicking away — I would have done the same thing! But with the earphones. The additional details that a tour guide provides always helps me appreciate a place or object more.
THe bus tour sounds like a great way to enjoy more places in relatively shorter time. I'm trilled with the first photo of your previous post where your ship entered the port. Even from the photo I could feel how great the feeling must be ...
ReplyDeleteThank God for the sun that day. I like the 1st pic! :)
ReplyDeletewow Rome!! my dream place to visit...
ReplyDeleteVery nice streets shots Maria.
ReplyDeletehaha, i can relate with your post, never mind the history, just capture the moments right?!
ReplyDeletefantastic street shots, somtimes it;s better to see it from this angle,
i bet you finger just wouldn't stop clicking the shutter button . ^0^
Beautiful! I would love to go there someday.
ReplyDeleteThat city is beautiful and you did a pretty good job with your camera taking those pictures.
