After a good night sleep in a proper bed.

We are able to start adjusting and becoming Roman to dive into this amazing city full of curious and stunning monuments !! But before the visits and turning into turisme mode, we want to full the fridge in order to enjoy cooking our own meals in our small but very practical kitchen !!

Transport ticket for 3 days bought and a good brunch in our stomach we start with the north of Roma. 

First la Piazza del Popolo ! French people... You got the inside joke... But it's the real name !

 Then we wanted to see the Mausoleo Augusto but it was in renovation :( But on the way we crossed a Sephora shop... Every girls reading this is guessing my every move after this founding !! 
I went in, walk around little black pen tester : in my eyes, then passed on a black eye laches : put on ! 

And here I am a woman again after nine days of roots style, I feel like a city miss ! Ready like no one to be the Roman girl of the day. 

We crossed to the other side and walked until la Piazza dei Tribunall, the Castel Sant' Angelo to finish at the entrance of the Vatican garden and so the San Pietro Basilic... That we couldn't visit cause we were too late... So probably after tomorrow.

We didn't visite a lot more this first day because of the morning where we took time to adjust and get comfortable in our new flat ! But also coz we got caught in bargaining. 

Not because you're a tourist, you should not be expert in bargain. My best move ? I'll give it to you...

Take anything you would like to have, if there is no price it's easier, but even if there is... Ask how much it cost, when you get your answer put back the object, thank the guy and turn around. As soon as you leave, they most of the time catch you back and ask your price. Refuse again, they insist so you give your price less at least 2 euros so you can make a move toward the salesman... And here you go.

Sometimes you don't even have to give any price... One just cut the price in half after the second rejection. It's usually at this moment that you realise how expensive they sell it compared to the price they got it for. 

Some might think it's not cool because people selling in the street are in need, well be reassured there are many tourists who don't bargain and our nice street salesman get what he needs at the end of the day. 

Anyhow back to roots style, joining a Couchsurfeur from Roma (Diego) who couldn't host us but invited us tonight to a roof concert of experimentale music :)

Roof concert

The last artist made us fly I the night sky so we went back to our flat :) completely zen and ready to have another good night sleep.
