PHOTOS (ITALY)
There are a few photos that were made in Italy. We were there during our summer vacation together
with our friends Milan and Kristýna. It was from Aug-09-2002 to Aug-19-2002 in the town called
Alba Adriatica (palm riviera). The first two pictures are from Alba whereas the next two are from Roma
where I went on a one-day trip. It was from travel-agency Inex from Pilsen, CZ.

This beautiful and siren miss next to me is not the Italian. She is Katka who was acting as a delegate
of travel-agency Inex in Alba. She organized many interesting occasions for us there (a trip to Roma,
evening with Italian pizza and dancing, a “funny” visit of the China Restaurant, etc.)
She sweetened our vacation in Italy by those actions and we are sending our additional “thanks”
to her for that.

The Sun in Alba arose at about six o'clock in the morning there (during August).
It wasn't funny to get up from our beds so early in the morning (especially after our last night
programme). The next hard thing on this was to catch someone on the beach (we lived about 50 metres away
from it) who could take a picture of all of us! The sky wasn't absolutely clear, only the small cloud
was trying to hide the large Sun. I stood for the first time in my life near the sea here and,
obviously, in the sea as well (in my age of 23 years). The water in the sea was really salt there
(I tasted it). The sea was also fairly wavy. There are: GeorgeP, Honza, Kristýna a Milan
on this picture (from the left side).

The next wellknown place in Italy is the Vatican City, the smallest state in the world. This state
is situated inside of Roma. It is the residence of the head of the Catholic Church -- the Holy
Father or Pope (current Pope's name is John Paul II). The Vatican City has its own currency, post-marks
and other indispensable things for an independent state. So I have already had a luck to see the Vatican
City. You can see Saint Peter's Basilica and Sistine Chapel (next to me and hundreds of tourists)
on this picture.

I've always wished to stand on some world-famous and beautiful place in the world. The visit of Roma
fulfilled my wishes. As you can see, I stood before the world-famous Colosseum on this photo. There
was a few individuals who worn the dresses of the gladiators with the Caesar alongside. The weather
there was great but after a nine-hour-long walk around Roma I was tired enough.

I also saw other sights during the tour around Roma, e.g. Pantheon, Forum Romanum, Capitol or
Fontana di Trevi (there, to ensure good luck and early return to Rome, I tossed a coin over my left
shoulder into the fountain).
