So, I'm jumping ahead a month again from my step-by-step #TheLongestTrip to share with you my fresh emotions :)
I came up with tagging my posts: #TheLongestTrip // I'm at this moment -- for those posts that will be about mine today moments.
Thank goodness I found the perfect coffee community for that.
Thanks 
After all, I start my day with coffee, and I always like to drink coffee in every new city, comparing prices and brewing traditions. Once, in Ukraine, I started to do coffee business...
So, after long doubts and passionate discussions about what to do next, we decided to fly to Rome. I will write about the reasons for this decision later, and today I will briefly share my first impressions of Rome.
Due to the fact that we did not pay the so-called additional tourist tax (we did not know about it) and did not receive a "white paper" in the first days of our stay in Montenegro, we were a little nervous, fearing that we might not be let out of the country... ( By the way, it was released without any problems )
..
When I was on the bus to Rome, I suddenly felt that I could not hold my head at all. She was really falling!... and I, as soon as I got to the Airbnb we booked for the first two days, immediately fell into bed and lay there until the evening without strength. With our lifestyle, where we go to bed after 2 am, it is a little difficult to get up at 5 am. Morning flights exhaust us, but they are usually in the morning!
A few hours later, I gathered all my strength and pushed my body into the shower. Later I made myself a coffee. The apartment was on the 10th floor and had a wonderful balcony overlooking the city. Where I drink coffee, from which cup, is of great importance to me :) Restores strength. I brought coffee from Montenegro. I always have coffee with me :) So 150 ml of coffee with cream and I felt better.
We wanted to eat, but all I had with me was a few crackers and a spoonful of honey in a small plastic jar that contained our cat EdGrey's vitamins! A very convenient little jar of honey for the flight :)
This jar has already become a rarity, I cannot throw it away, because it is traveling with us to the sixth country already )))
Then we went in search of a supermarket... The next day we went to a famous place in Rome - the Colosseum.
We first walked along a very beautiful avenue, along which giant cedar pines grew! And there were very old khaki trams. Very authentic. Later we took the subway. It was the first experience of buying tickets in a machine, costing 1.5 euros for 100 minutes.
Of course, this place fascinates with its grandeur, and the square near the Colosseum impresses with its scale and historic grandiose buildings. We just took a quick walk, enjoying the music of the street musicians and the spirit of history that just hangs in the air here!
We will return here to explore more of the center of Rome. And this evening we were looking for a cafe to eat and found a small pizzeria, where we ordered two pieces of pizza, pasta, and one coke. It cost us 15 euros.
The main exoticism was that on the stairs near the pizzeria there were metal tables - stools, and you could sit on pillows directly on the dirty stairs! It looks like the Italians are calm about dirt... But wandering tourists like us like to experience everything )))
On the second day, we had to move to the next apartment. After leaving the house, we noticed an interesting moment - many keys that were pressed into the asphalt :)
And again there was a wait with coffee. This time I decided to order myself an Italian espresso. I'm in Italy!
I never drink such coffee, but I am in Italy to taste real Italian coffee! It turned out to be so small, the cup was 7 cm in diameter, and there was half of a very strong and very bitter drink in the cup, about 30 ml! It cost 2 euros. I had one piece of coffee creamer in my bag, it saved my coffee and I was able to drink it :) We asked a young, cute Italian waiter if Italians drink this kind of coffee. It turns out that they drink such coffee four times a day, because it is like an elixir of cheerfulness for them!
And finally, I want to say about the downside of Rome. Today was Sunday, but everywhere was dirty. There were piles of garbage and garbage balls lying near the dumpsters. This gives an unpleasant impression of the capital of Italy. So far this is the dirtiest city I've seen :( But I am a person who likes to see the beauty of life! So I ignore the trash and enjoy my Roman vacation!
This post is written about where I am now. But I'll be back to telling my travel story, sequentially describing all the places I changed in my #TheLongestTrip
I thank everyone for your support ❤️
