Last day in rome
I passed by the coloseum once upon a time
Looks like everyone expected...
Old place...seems like many people died in here...
The arena...wasnt that big as in the movie the gladiator...
The main floor was gone...but this is how it looked underneath it...
And some small peice of seats remains...
Some miniature...
They made some new floor at one side for some groups to stand on...
They also had many souvenir shops...
Later a visit to the old rome was done...
Forum romana...like in the old computer games...
This is in the middle of the city...
Some interesting small house...
And more acient structures...
There were also some people protesting against turkish government or something..and many poilce were standin up to prepare incase of a fight...
And some heavier trucks...
There was a huge queue to see the Mouth of truth statue
Some scull...like in indiana jones....
EVery one wanted to touch the statue and take a pic...
They even had a quard there to control that everyone only took 1 pic...
Later i tried to find a geocache here...but it could have been gone...
Cosinus hyperbolikus...
Protest...
The police seemed used to these protests...
These lamps looks like starwars characters...

A country without land..."The three principal officers are counted as citizens. Though its sovereignty is disputed by some legal scholars, it is often given as the only remaining example of a sovereign entity which entirely lacks territory." says wiki...
Their flag looks like denmarks...or switzerland
Is this the cars registration sign in this non territory country?
They seem to have alot of activities all around the world...
