I love this city absolutely and last night, a little lost, we found ourselves on a bridge across the Tiber and there, in the distance, was St Pietro's sparkling.
I was so incredibly tired after days of heat and wandering, negotiating with my knee and blisters, losing 3 kgs in the process and I had become disorientated. I was sad to have that memory of my last night but looking up, I discovered this gift.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

My last night in Roma

WOW.
Yes, I remember well how Rome took me to emotional highs and physical lows. Our apartment was on the SIXTH floor, no elevator, and after a full day of WALKING everywhere and keeping up with My Man Who Never Tires, I'd look at those stairs and think, "Dear God, I might just sleep outside the building tonight. I can't go even one step farther."
This is a superb picture. I'm going back now to gaze at it.
Lol, we should travel together V. I think we could find common ground to walk slowly on and I know where there's a hotel on flat ground with an elevator.
Thank you shashikiran. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
