First meal in Roma - pizza with really huge salami slices!
And salmon pasta too~
My dinner that day, calzone.
This was reallllly great! The mushroom and the cheese and the ham. Ohhh the ham. I love Italian funghi. Sadly ALL the subsequent places we went to in Italy (Roma, Firenze, Venezia) did not serve calzone, why oh whyyy?!?
Prosciutto ham! 200g for 3euros. We bought 400g (prosciutto + salami + pancetta) the first day...for 2 people...which we finished quickly! Subsequently everytime we went to a grocery store we bought ham...And we started looking like it by the end of the trip ^^
Picnic the next day with the ham and some salad. Near the Galleria Nazionale D'arte Moderna.
Italian funghi is just really yummy? I don't know why but they just use a different type of mushroom than the ones in Singapore and it tastes sooo much better?
Tomatoes in the grocery!

Ice cold lemon granita to cool down after climbing 463 steps to the top of the Duomo in Firenze! It was sooo hot in summer! 36 degrees?
The Duomo. Climbed to the top of the big dome, 463 steps! Mind you the stairways were windy, narrow, and uneven, with no rest stops, you just have to keep climbing and climbing. It's not renovated and it's filled with people so you can't just stop if you're tired or you'll hold up the line...
View from the top! Very preeettty ♥
