EUROPE TRIP // ROME [Days 8 & 9] - Vatican City, Colosseum, Spagna

HI.

Decided to quickly finish up my 6th and final post on Europe! So here goes :)

Photos while making our way back to the hotel. Think i did quite a good job taking these photos since the bus was moving right? 






Finally reached our hotel that was sadly really far from everything. It's a 15 min (creepy and dark) walk to the train station, nowhere near any malls or shops? But it was quite a nice hotel anw

It was already 6+pm by the time we reached the hotel so we could only make a short trip to Spagna for a short while before the shops closed at 9pm.



I didn't dare take photos on our way to spagna (the walk to the train station or on the train) because Italy isn't exactly the safest place ever?

Heard stories of people on motorbikes slashing you before taking your bag? I had to make sure my bag was facing away from the road like all the time???
I also kept turning back to make sure my boyfriend never kana kidnapped HAHAHA i'm not kidding but i really damn scared he just disappear leh. It was really damn dark and deserted when we were making our way to the train station. Making our way back at 10pm was even WORSE. I was more paranoid there than i was in Bangkok lol.


Decided to have their Macs since it was extremely different to that of other countries!

They had the baci,pistacchio,brownies and smarties mix for their McFlurry URGH i swear i hate how i was too full to try it after dinner. In case you didn't know, baci means kisses, and it's a chocolate from Italy that i LOVE. Definitely one of my (many many) favourite chocolates!



Their macs DAMN BIG RIGHT and there are so many cashiers?



My 1955 burger that tasted like HEAVEN. Even with so much lettuce and tomatoes in it, you can still taste the beef and the sauce aaaaaah. I loved it so damn much. Best macs meal i ever had. Beats mcspicy, mcwhatever.






Ritche's CBO burger! Just tasted like the regular mcchicken burger though it looks nothing like it lol.

We agreed to share half half so i ate my half of the 1955 burger, then i finished ritche's CBO half, but ritche could only eat like a few mouthfuls of the 1955 burger so i ate it all on his behalf HAHAHA.
So i ate almost 1 and a half burgers even though they're damn huge and filling omg i'm such a pig.
I still helped to eat a whole lot of the fries? LOL (no wonder no space for baci mcflurry)


metro ticketzzzzzzzz



hehe my shopping bag


Their trains really damn quiet one leh when i talk to ritche i had to whisper cause it'll be so awkward if everyone could hear me LOL.


Our pinocchio from Florence :)




Pinocchio mask also from Florence HAHAHA MY EYES



Day 8 ended so quickly i wish i could extend it? :(
Actually Spagna has quite a night life if i'm not wrong. But since Italy isn't very safe i rather we didn't take the risk.

Day 9's OOTD

Laced Sleeve Top from StyleHacks
Leather Jeans from Diesel, Paris
Boots from Esprit
Bag from Carpisa, Italy



In Vatican City~ This is the smallest country in the world, it's only 0.44 square km and the WHOLE COUNTRY'S LAND is used to build the LARGEST church in the world. I find that really contradicting but really cool at the same time! This is where the Pope lives (i think......). I'm a free thinker and my knowledge on religion is practially like 0.


LOOK AT THAT QUEUE early in the morning at 8am. Can't imagine the queue in the afternoons?
 You'll only see such a queue in Singapore if it's for freebies LOL.



Idk what's with me and lamp posts but i think it looks stunning ha ha maybe it's just me.but look at the details?!




Cutie and i




Wanted a typical tourist shot with the church but ritche decided to make the fountain look like a mexican hat on me HAHAHAHA
he says it's not on purpose maybe i'm just unlucky :(







Grand entrance




This is still OUTSIDE the church can you believe it?


Amazing silhouette shot taken by Ritche's father. Highly doubt it was done on purpose though HAHAHA cause his dad doesn't know how to work the settings on the camera.


Finally inside the beautiful church







Very blur photo of us :(







Swiss guard omg i can't imagine how many photos there are of him, taken by thousands of tourists each day? HAHAHA




Went to the souvenir shop after and it's basically just every kind of souvenir you can name, from postcards to fridge magnets, keychains, statues, but with the pope's face printed on it. I was surprised and i've never seen any shop like that before.
I just thought they'll have nice souvenirs of Vetican City so i could get something for friends and family members who are mostly not religious.



Lunch!





Reached the Colosseum at 1pm and it was crazily hot



Wanted to take a picture of those people all dressed up and the guy on the left was nice enough to pose for me HAHAHAHA you're too kind.




Candid shot of us, why do we look so confused? LOL 








Back to shopping at Spagna after having a short break at the hotel!




Was surprised to find this shop that has stuff at F21 pricing! It's really rare for Europe to have any cheap clothing shops like these. Sadly they were selling winter clothes so i could only buy jeans :(







Brandy <3 Melville was one of the nicest shops i've visited! They sell stuff really similar to TOPSHOP in my opinion.




Can he teach me how he does that pls i want to freak my friends out HAHA



Grumpy boy because hungry




Salmon pasta that was quite good!


BEST BEST risotto i've ever had in my life! Was never a fan of risotto but this made me change my mind.
 I'm on a hunt for the best risotto in Singapore now HAHA.


The following day when making our way back to Singapore.
Ritche's parents and I all found seats and Ritche didn't have one HAHAH so he stand in front of me act one pitiful. _|_


Get my seat only fucking happy alr _|_


Yay to Baci chocolate!


New bag from Carpisa, Italy :) Cost me 35 Euros ($60 SGD)



Ritche was like "what the hell are you taking sia" HAHAHA fuck la he so tall for what




Last photo of Italy :(


I had no make up on. It's becoming damn rare these days lol.


Spamming Baci chocolates on the plane while i watched 4 movies on my way back to SG HAHAHA. I actually planned on sleeping the whole way back so i wouldn't have a jet lag (that lasted me for weeks btw) but it obviously failed miserably.



Singapore Sling that tastes like crap as always



Chocolates bought from Paris, Switzerland, Venice and Italy! Basically wherever we went we would buy chooclates HAHA. If you're wondering how much is left now, we practically finished all of it already. And why? Because Ritche has a sweet tooth he'll ask "open this leh?" and before you know it the whole deck is gone already.


The only regret i have was not buying more ovomaltine spread urgh. Singapore sells it at $15 and it was limited edition at candy empire (means no more already la). Sigh i really miss going overseas. I'll be in Cebu on the 28th of Dec, just 17 days more to go! I CANT WAIT it's been 2 years since i went there. I MISS THE BREAD MOST.

Anw my shop just had it's launch of new apparels so check it out nownownownow @ www.stylehacks.net

I think i'll be having an updates post real soon ehehehe i'll have lots of things coming my way like my very first tattoo this friday.
fuck i'm damn excited.it's a design i got out of a drawing so i'm 99.999999% sure i'm the only one with that tattoo.

Okay i guess that's all for now :) Thank you for reading. Till next time! <3
