‘When in Rome…’ check out these photo’s I’ve snapped and edited of a recent trip to the beautiful city of Rome, Italy. The city itself kinda reminds me of a much relaxed London, with all the old buildings preserved as well as the independent shops, had so much to see here that it requires a second trip ~ Bello Roma!
During this trip we took one day out to visit the beautiful Positano town on the Amalfi Coast!
