ÁRON (19, ELEK)

Áron would have liked to experience the Italian way of living – and the buzz of the “eternal city” offers many opportunities to do that. Áron has never flown before so he was already amazed to see the airport and to go through the special boarding procedures but he was even more amazed when after landing, in spite of the late hours, he could look at the cockpit - thanks to Wizz Air.

We started our first day at the Colosseum. It was a fantastic feeling to see this marvelous building! After this we looked at the Circus Maximus playing with the idea of how the horse races could have been held here back in the old days, then on the way to the Tiber also Áron put his hand into the "Mouth of Truth" - and pulled it out fine! :-) Having tasted some local snacks, some pizza and gelato we crossed the Jewish neighbourhood to see the famous cat colony of Rome at the Largo di Torre Argentina and we stopped at the Piazza Navona. Towards the end of the already full day, while heading towards the hotel, we looked at the Pantheon and admired the Forum Romanum.

The morning of our second day was completely filled with sightseeing at the Vatican. From here we headed towards the Piazza di Spagna where a volunteering group of the local "carabinieri" helped us climb the steps - they even put on their parade uniform for the occasion. Traffic in Rome is especially chaotic with a wheelchair but even so we managed to get to the main sights. Nevertheless we had to throw in some coins at the Fountain of Trevi as there is so much to see in Rome, one has to go back.

Our third and unfortunately our last day was only half a day as we had to arrive at the airport by early afternoon. In the morning we went to a local vegetable and fish market where those up for it could taste some raw delicacies from the sea. After that we still had some time to go up to the top of the monument Vittorio Emanuele II from where there is an amazing panoramic view of Rome. It was a worthy farewell from this beautiful city! Áron has experienced many new things during this trip, and even though it would be nice to live the Italian way a bit longer, the "eternal city" gave Áron in only these few days memories that last forever.



We would like to thank in the name of Áron too the support of the management of Warm Up Járműkereskedelmi Kft, the Wizz Air Hungary Ltd.and our private sponsors, whose help allowed us to fulfill Kelemen's dream.
