Australian Platypus (Animal) The platypus is one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom. Platypuses (which is the correct plural form, not "platypi") have a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver; a sleek, furry body like an otter; and a flat bill and webbed feet like a duck. In fact, the first time a platypus was brought from Australia to Britain, people couldn't believe that it was a real animal. They thought that a trickster had sewn two animals together, according to the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Platypus Platypuses are among the few venomous mammals. Males have a spur on the back of their hind feet that is connected to a venom-secreting gland. More venom is secreted during mating season, leading researchers to think that the spurs and venom help males compete for mates, according to the Australian Platypus Conservatory. The venom is not life threatening to humans, but it can cause severe swelling and "excruciating pain."  http://www.platypus.asn.au/ Size & appearance A typical platypus is 15 inches (38 centimeters) from its head to the end of its rump. Its tail adds an additional 5 inches (13 cm) to the animal's length. An individual weighs about 3 lbs. (1.4 kg), though platypuses that live in colder climates are bigger than those living in warmer areas, according to the Australian Platypus Conservatory.  http://www.platypus.asn.au/ Scientists have found fossils that suggest that ancient platypuses where twice as large as the modern variety, at 3.3 feet (1 meter) long. https://www.livescience.com/40930-new-giant-platypus.html https://d2efd7c4024904ce970aec673519e60c.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html?n=0 Platypuses have dense, thick fur that helps them stay warm underwater. Most of the fur is dark brown, except for a patch of lighter fur near each eye, and lighter-colored fur on the underside. Their front feet have extra skin that acts like a paddle when the animals are swimming. When platypuses are on land, their webbing retracts, making the claws more pronounced. The animals walk awkwardly on their knuckles to protect the webbing. The bill of a platypus, sometimes called a duck-billed platypus, has a smooth texture that feels like suede. It is also flexible and rubbery. The skin of the bill holds thousands of receptors that help the platypus navigate underwater and detect movement of potential food, such as shrimp. https://youtu.be/QNoQvjlmGdk **Habitat** Platypuses live in only one, small area of the world. These creatures make their homes in the freshwater areas that flow throughout the island of Tasmania and the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia. While they are in the water a lot, they will also waddle onto the riverbanks to dig burrows with their claws. These burrows are tunnels that have rooms or chambers. Platypuses also live under rock ledges, roots or debris. Though they exist on only one side of one continent, platypuses weather many climate extremes. They have been found in plateaus, lowlands, tropical rainforests, and the cold mountains of Tasmania and the Australian Alps. Their waterproof, thick fur keeps platypuses warm in chilly temperatures, and their big tails store extra fat for energy. Platypuses usually spend their time hunting for food, and a hunt can last 10 to 12 hours. They are most active during nighttime and dusk, because they are nocturnal. This means they sleep during the day. When not hunting, they stay in their burrows. Diet Platypuses are carnivorous, which means they eat meat but not plants. They hunt for their food in the water where they live. As they swim, they try to detect food along the muddy bottom of the river, stream, pond or lake using their sensitive bills. When platypuses find something interesting, like shellfish, insects, larvae or worms, they scoop it up in their bills, store it in their cheek pouches and swim to the surface. Since they only have grinding plates and no teeth, platypuses use any gravel or dirt they scooped up while on the bottom of the waterbed to mash their food into digestible pieces.  Baby platypuses Most mammals give birth to live young. Platypuses, however, lay eggs. They are a species of primitive mammals called monotremes. Echidnas, or spiny anteaters, are the only other mammals that lay eggs. When the female platypus is ready to have her young, she will burrow down inside the ground on the riverbank and seal herself into one of her tunnel rooms. Then, she will lay one or two eggs and place them between her rump and her tail to keep them warm. After about 10 days, the eggs hatch and the little, bean-sized babies will nurse for three to four months. Around the time of weaning, baby platypuses can swim on their own. Conservation status Platypuses are not endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the animals as a "Least Concern," though the organization admits it has no idea how large or small the platypus population may be. This is due, primarily, to lack of worldwide research and data on the species. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/40488/0 Other facts Platypuses swim with their front feet and steer with their tails and back feet. They have waterproof fur, skin that covers their ears and eyes, and noses that seal shut to protect the animals while they are underwater. Though platypuses are made for the water, they can't stay completely submerged. They can only stay underwater for 30 to 140 seconds. Platypus' skeletons resemble those of reptiles. They both have pectoral girdles and splayed legs. These short creatures are much better at moving through water than across land. They use 30 percent more energy walking across land than swimming through the water, according to the Australian Museum of History.  http://australianmuseum.net.au/Platypus/ Resources: livescience.com, National Geographic.

15 Free Things to Do in Melbourne Melbourne I promise you it is worth the trip! When you are tired of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, head down to the sizzling beaches of Melbourne and explore the galleries, theatres, and museums that make up this culturally-rich city. This list of my favorite things to see and do in Melbourne is perfect for anyone visiting on a budget. There are tons of freebies in the city and it’s easily walkable. Melbs is bursting with eclectic culture and unique sights! **Be sure to explore the nooks and crannies of this city; there’s so much to be discovered. Here are 15 free things to do in Melbourne!** St. Kilda Snag breakfast at one of the many amazing restaurants on Acland Street. I really enjoyed window shopping along this famous street. There are some pretty eclectic boutiques and bakeries with delicious treats filling the windows. Hit the beach for a sunrise stroll and get a glimpse of Luna Park. The St. Kilda Esplanade Sunday Market Every Sunday, hundreds of artisans line the Upper Esplanade showcasing their artistry and craftsmanship. You can easily take a stroll here from Acland Street in St. Kilda and get an eye full of the colorful artwork. The Royal Botanic Gardens From the Esplanade, you can walk north past Albert Park Lake to The Royal Botanic Gardens. You could spend DAYS here exploring the massive gardens that cover over 36 hectares with more than 50,000 plants! **These are by FAR the biggest and most beautiful gardens I have ever seen.** You can grab a map from one of the kiosks located along the walkways, visit the visitor center or walk the paths and discover the gardens on your own! Flinders Street Railway Station When you’ve gotten your fill of nature head north of the Botanic Gardens on St. Kilda Rd. and cross the Yarra River to the CBD (Central Business District). The beautiful and bright Flinders Street Railway Station was the very first railway station in all of Australia! You’ll know you’ve arrived in the CBD when you cross the bridge and run straight into the station. The Ian Potter Centre The Ian Potter Centre is part of the art collection of the National Gallery of Victoria and is located in Federation Square near the Railway Station on Flinders Street. It is free to enter and full of incredible art. The exhibits rotate but when I was in Melbs there was a beautiful exhibit on Aboriginal art. The Australian Center for the Moving Image Screen Worlds is a free permanent exhibit at the ACMI that follows the development of the moving image through the story of film, television & digital culture. There’s even an interactive Timeslice experience here inspired by the iconic ‘bullet time’ sequence in The Matrix. 36 cameras snapshots as you jump, flip, or strike a pose capturing a 360° video that you can email to yourself. Needless to say, I spent far too much time here. The CBD The streets of the CBD are lined with tons of restaurants, cafes, and shops. Don’t be afraid to explore the alleyways as you never know what you might stumble upon. The best part of Melbourne was unexpectedly finding hidden treasures! The Parliament Gardens After walking north through the CBD head east on Lonsdale St. until you reach the statuesque Parliament building. The gardens here may be small, but the Coles Fountain is worth a visit. This work of art turns into a splash zone as kids and adults alike pose inside the water! For this exact reason, it’s great for people watching and a good laugh! The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens Just north of The Parliament Gardens, if you take Nicholson Street, you will reach Carlton Gardens. Enjoy a stroll through the beautiful Victorian-era gardens and get a glimpse of the impressive Royal Exhibition Building that sits behind an incredible French Fountain. The Melbourne Museum The Melbs Museum is located in Carlton Gardens just beyond the Royal Exhibition so it’s an easy next stop. Ok, so it’s not *free*… but admission is only $10 so it’s still budget-friendly! **I never get sick of museums and could spend all day winding through the exhibits.** Aside from dinosaur fossils, the museum has rotating exhibitions as well as a particularly great exhibit, The Melbourne Story, that has over 1200 collection objects detailing the unique history of the city. Fitzroy Walking northeast from the Carlton Gardens you will eventually reach the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. This area of the city is one of my favorites with lanes lined with vintage shops, intimate cafes, and the Rose Street Artists Market on weekends. **Be sure not to miss brunch or a beer on Brunswick Street!** The State Library of Victoria I am OBSESSED with libraries. There is something so nostalgic about ceiling-high shelves lined with old books. This library takes the cake! The dramatic 6 story La Trobe Reading Room contains more than 32,000 books! The library is absolutely stunning and the outside lawn is a spectacle in itself- packed with students and lovers alike. Chinatown Heading south of the library you will reach Little Bourke Street. Home to fabulous food and Melbourne’s Chinatown! This Chinatown dates back to the gold rush days of the mid-1800s and is the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the western world. **Stop by for a look at some Chinese history!** Melbourne Street Art Make some detours along the way to discover the spray-painted city streets. You’ll never know when you might find something unexpected! Melbourne’s Graffiti Management Plan establishes permits for artists and endorses their work in designated areas of the city. The artwork is internationally celebrated and is hard to miss. Melbourne at Night Last, but probably my favorite freebie, is strolling Melbourne at night. The City Lights Project, the intimate lighting of the alleys, and the amazing nightlife make this city something to truly marvel at! *As you can see, Melbourne is not only a budget-friendly destination, but it’s easily walkable! Be sure to let yourself get lost, chat with some locals, and discover your own adventures in Melbourne!* **Thank you for having time to read my article ❣** Please **like**, **subscribe**, and **comment** on some motivation words so I can write more good articles.

770 din za 60 sekundi **Dobar dan dobri ljudi! Kako ste danas??** Moram vam ispričati ukratko jednu situaciju koja mi se desila sinoć oko 22.30h dok sam šetao gradom, slušao svoj omiljeni radio preko neta kroz slušalice i uživao u sladoledu... Dok sam tako šetao u centru grada, jedan muškarac je stajao po strani, lepo obučen, visok, lepog izgleda mogu reći. Odjednom sam čuo glas kroz slušalice, bio je njegov. Obratio mi se sa rečima: "Izvini, sviđaju mi se tvoje slušalice. Zainteresovan sam da ih kupim!" Pogledao sam ga onako čudno, i pomislio: Ovo je neka budala, nema šta da radi pa podjebava ljude! Nastavio sam svojim putem dalje, ali sam se osvrnuo, kopkalo me je da li je ovaj dečko normalan?? U trenutku se pojavila jedna moja školska drugarica gde mi se obratila rečima: "Jel i tebe ovaj startovao da mu prodaš slušalice?!! Pogledah je čudno,.. misleći se: Odakle ova zna šta me je ovaj lik pitao!?? Ma čoveče došao je pre pola sata kod mene u trafiku da kupi slušalice!- rekla je školska! Pa rekoh, a gde će naći slušalice u pola 11 uveče? Ovaj nije normalan... nije u vinklu! 😊 Posle nekih 500 m, lik me prestiže, prolazeći pored mene, osmehujući se dobacio mi je: " Brate, ja se i dalje ineteresujem za tvoje slušalice, da znas!?". Ja ovako 'lujkan', kažem liku: Čekaj bre malo!! Šta će ti moje slušalice, u čemu je štos??? Rekao mi je da mu je jako hitno, da mora imati 'moje' slušalice i da je priča duga i da nema kad da mi objašnjava, samo mu je bilo važno da dobije moje slušalice po ne bitnoj ceni!! Rekao sam mu da nemam druge, da uživam slušajući muziku i u razgovoru sa devojkom i da su i meni potrebne! Na kraju bilo mi ga je nekako žao, jer je sve vreme bio kulturan, nasmejan i željan slušalica! Ponudio mi je 2.000 dinara za slušalice, a ako je malo daće koliko god da tražim a da on ima u novčaniku. U tom trenutku sam skinuo slušalice sa sebe i ponudio mu ih, u smislu da mu ih poklanjam! On je rekao: "Ne, ništa na ovom svetu nije za džabe! Ti si te slušalice kupio, ja ih uredno želim kupiti od tebe! Hoćeš više od 2.000 din., evo uzmi 10.000 din!" Želeo sam mu pokloniti od srca slušalice, međutim on nije hteo ni da čuje! Na kraju, izvadio je 1.000 din i stavio mi u džep i zahvalio se na prodaji. Rekao je: "Ako trebam još da ti platim, nikakav problem, ako se predomisliš i potrebno ti je još para!" Ne pitajte me šta mi je sve prolazilo kroz glavu, zašto baš uvek ja, zašto su mu bile toliko potrebne jedne obične slušalice u 22.30h, itd. Čak sam pomislio da je neki youtuber i da snima neki 'prank'. Upravo sam izašao na kafu do grada, pre toga mi je palo napamet da svratim u radnju i sebi kupim slušalice.... Koštale su celih 230. Din. obične, ali služe i sasvim lepo se čuju. Pa tako,... do sledećih slušalica,.. ovaj, do sledećeg slušanja i čitanja! Lupite jedan lajk i razvalite sa komentarima! **P.S To je jedini i pravi način do zarade!**

Joke: Old but gold Slightly old joke about Bill Clinton and former Serbian would be dictator, Slobodan Milosevic (In a word for word translation to English, his name means: Freeman Gentlefuck) Anyway, here is actual joke: Milosevic goes to visit White House during Clinton's presidency. He participates at the amazingly lavish reception with many foreign dignitaries. After diner, he decides to slip out the hall, and explore the rooms of the White House. After several rooms he is amazed to discover a room with a golden urinal! Being very impressed with such lavishness he proceeds to relieve himself. He decides that he too shall have a golden toilet made once back home. A year later, Clinton is invited to Serbia, and Milosevic is personally hosting them at his own mansion. He is showing off, and he takes Clinton and Hillary to his personal bathroom. He smiles and tells them how he got this idea from them, he opens the door, and proudly shows off his sparkling 24 carat pure gold toilet. Hilary leans over to Bill and whispers: "Now we know who pissed in your saxophone."

The Ultimate Guide to Vancouver in a Weekend Spend a worthwhile weekend in British Columbia’s largest city Vancouver to sample the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer. From awesome breweries, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine, Vancouver has it all! **Here’s my ultimate guide to Vancouver on a weekend!** Brewery Hopping Vancouver’s microbreweries are the talk of the town—and if you feel like some company, book a tour with a fun company like *Vancouver Brewery Tours.* The best neighborhood in East Vancouver, where you’ll find most of the top breweries clumped together. Stop by *Granville Island Brewing*, which opened in 1984 as Canada’s first microbrewery, or sample the popular brews at *33 Acres Brewing Company*, who craft a range of delicious floral IPAs, Schwarz bier, and lemony Belgians. You’ll find smaller, neighborhood breweries with tasting rooms, like *Brassneck Brewery* that have fun atmospheres as well! Food Trucks There are awesome food trucks abound in Vancouver, and there’s no better way to fill your tummy up for a low price. Grab a smoothie at the *Juice Truck* or a handheld pie at the *Aussie Pie Guy*. If you’re a cheese-lover, check out Community Pizzeria– where you’ll get pizzas cooked from scratch and in a wood-fired pizza oven- or *Mom's Grilled Cheese Truck!* For the best fish tacos this side of the border, head over to *Tacofino* and then top it off with some banana churros or diablo cookies. Momo Sushi For cheap eats that you can enjoy sitting down, try *Mamo Sush*i in Gastown. The food isn’t the most gourmet in Vancouver, but it’s a great place to sample nigiri and rolls at a low price point. They serve everything from takoyaki and avocado rolls to bento boxes and chirashi—and most dishes are under $10. The place tends to be fairly busy during rush hour at noon, so grab a seat just before or after! **Stanley Park** Stanley Park is a massive 1,000-acre outdoor area, Vancouver’s popular and wild backyard. Head here in the morning and expect to spend a few hours enjoying the zoo, train, swimming pools, beaches, historical landmarks, and aquarium.is a massive 1,000-acre outdoor area, Vancouver’s popular and wild backyard. Head here in the morning and expect to spend a few hours enjoying the zoo, train, swimming pools, beaches, historical landmarks, and aquarium. Grab lunch at the Fish House or Waterfall Cafe, or go for a quiet tea hour at the Teahouse. If the weather is good, I recommend playing a game of tennis or golf, or going for a peaceful hike among the 500,000 cedar and fir trees! Vancouver Aquarium Within Stanley Park, you’ll find Vancouver Aquarium, which opened in 1956 and regularly hosts educational events, exhibitions, and kid-friendly activities**.** It has a total of 166 aquatic displays featuring a diverse array of dolphins, sea otters, beluga whales, anacondas, sloths, eels, sea lions, eels, and more. Plus every winter there is an annual visit of “Scuba Claus” where Santa Claus dives in the tanks and swims with the fishes- talk about holiday spirit! The Farmer’s Market here is open every Thursday from June to September. Shop for warm baked goods, preserves, plump fruit—and don’t leave without trying the candied salmon! Bella Gelateria Get a pre-dinner scoop of old-world handcrafted gelato at *Bella Gelateria* This upscale gelateria is immensely popular with visitors and locals alike, and it’s no wonder—with original flavors like Amarena Cherry, banana bread, earl gray, lavender, matcha green tea, and fior de latte. They also serve sorbets (can you say strawberry lime?) and excellent coffee! **Dinner at Nicli Antica Pizzeria** End a fun weekend in Vancouver and look for the red neon “Pizzeria” sign in the old neighborhood of Gastown! At the *Nicli Antica Pizzeria*, you’ll find authentic wood-fired pizza along with a chic atmosphere. Go traditional with the Marinara, a tasty mix of Pomodoro, oregano, garlic confit, and fresh basil, or jump on the creative train and order the Cavolo Nero e Funghi, with its grana Padano cheese, marinated mozzarella, Tuscan kale, and mixed mushrooms. Buck Buck Mule from The Diamond Top off an active day of sightseeing at *the Diamond*, a classy cocktail lounge above Maple Tree Square. Sit back and relax with the Buck Buck Mule, a refreshing mix of gin, sherry, cucumber juice, cilantro, lime, and ginger beer. Cozy, old-world vibe. Share it with some bar snacks like charcuterie, ceviche, and the house Cuban sandwich! **Thank you for having time to read my article ❣** Please **like**, **subscribe**, and **comment** on some motivation words so I can write more good articles.

The Solo Traveler's Guide to Rome Rome is one of the most well-known European cities and is famous for being one of the most historical, cultured, and romantic destinations in the world. As a solo traveler, whether you are visiting to enjoy the excellent food or to see the sights of the city, you won’t leave without some memories and photos to treasure. Where to Stay in Rome Rome is so popular that the sheer number of hotels is enough to make your head spin. There is no “best” district to stay in—where you stay should depend mostly on your preference and style of travel. *Termini Station*, as the main transport hub, wins in terms of diversity—here you can find hostels and pensions galore, and the proximity to trains and buses can’t be beaten, but you will be on the outskirts of a lot of the sights and Vatican city area. If you’re looking for a comfortable, budget option you may want to stick with bed & breakfasts; there are a few awesome choices in the center of town. Also, you can find hostels and *AirBnBs* on every corner! If you’re on the lookout for a luxury hotel experience during your stay, try the Via Veneto district near Villa Borghese. Here you’ll find Rome’s most expensive and exclusive hotels— but, you can’t go wrong with beautiful gardens outside of your front door. **If you’re after the Vatican, look no farther than the Prati hotel district, a quiet residential area just a few minutes’ walk to the Holy City.** What to See in Rome Rome is THE destination when it comes to food, romance, history, and culture. I’ve touched on my favorite sights and must-dos in *my three-day Rome itinerary*, but when in Rome… don’t forget to check out these highlights! Trajan’s Markets was the first “multilevel shopping mall” in the world. Here you can also walk along the Via Biberatica, the best-preserved ancient street in the city. Afterward, climb up Palatine Hill to check out the imperial palaces, extensive garden grounds, and ruins of villas. You’ll marvel at the exquisite architecture of the Pantheon, the only temple that survived the collapse of Rome relatively in one piece. The Colosseum is the universal icon of Rome, and you can join a tour to explore the interior. Nearby, check out the Arch of Constantine, which was built to commemorate Constantine’s victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312, and the Roman Forum. While you’re wandering the streets, stop by the Trevi Fountain and toss in a coin—legend has it that whoever tosses a coin in the fountain will return to the Eternal City someday. Grab some gelato and take a moment on the Spanish Steps to watch the people passing by. Food in Rome A trip to Rome wouldn’t be complete without delving into its cuisine! Stop by a local market for some fresh produce and farmer goodies. *The Campo de' Fiori Market* is a colorful market with delights such as hand-squeezed olive oil, fresh fruit, and Limoncello. Here you can sample an assortment of olive oils, balsamic bottles of vinegar, liquors, cheeses, and wines—the flavors go on and on! And of course, don’t forget to check out a traditional *Roman pizzeria*. Wood-burning stoves are just magic when it comes to fresh pizza! Try to find a place that will give you a quick lesson in making your own Napoli-style pies—it’s informative, tasty, and you get to join in the fun of stretching the dough. Top it all off with a cup of Italian joe—best enjoyed at Caffe Sant' Eustachio, one of the oldest espresso shops in Rome. You can’t go wrong with these authentic, home-roasted beans. Getting Around Rome Rome is a bit chaotic so it takes a few days to get a handle on the inner workings of the traffic and public transit lines. Pick up a map from your hotel or download one to your phone before you head out for the day. Rome is best enjoyed on foot—it’s romantic, it’s intimate, and it’s the best way to find all the hidden gems! There are also light railways, buses, trams, and the metro that will help you quickly get from point A to B. **Helpful Tip**: Taxis tend to be expensive and driving in Rome is only for the most daring. Staying Safe in Rome Rome is generally a safe city, but it does get a healthy share of tourist scams and pickpocketing. Keep a low profile, hold your bag close to your body, and stash your cards and cash in a secure spot. **Number one rule**: Keep your valuables with you and always keep in your bag or in a front pocket. **Thank you for having time to read my article ❣** Please **like**, **subscribe**, and **comment** on some motivation words so I can write more good articles.

What to Do in Rome in Three Days **Rome** is famous for being one of the most historical, cultured, and romantic destinations in the world, and whether you are visiting to enjoy the excellent food or to see the sights of the city, you won’t leave disappointed! ***Day 1 in Rome*** Take a Tour While visiting Rome last summer, I joined a ***Rome food & pizza making tour***, which, if you ask me, is the best way to discover a city! The tour lasts through mid-day, taking you through different parts of Rome. You’ll get your bearings of the city while trying the delicious food! You get to go to a market, a local bakery, a traditional pizzeria (where you can make a delicious masterpiece), and of course, end with a traditional Italian coffee break. Visit the Roman Forum Make your way to the ***Imperial Forums***, especially Trajan’s markets which is the first “multi-level shopping mall” in the world. You can also explore the Via Biberatica, which is the most intact ancient Roman street in the city. **Wander over the Roman Forum and take in the iconic views!** Climb up on Palantine Hill After exploring the forum, and wandering the streets that Julius Caesar once did, climb up to see the ruins of the imperial palaces on the Palatine Hill. Enjoy the beautiful garden areas and fragments of ancient villas. Visit the Colosseum Take the southeast entrance from the Roman Forum, and walk right up to the Colosseum. It is such an amazing sight to see, and if you are really interested in exploring the inside, join a tour. The tours can be expensive and have quite a bit of a wait, so decide if it is something that is really important to you! Next to the Colosseum is the Arch of Constantine, one of the largest of Rome’s ancient triumphal arches. The arch celebrates Emperor Constantine the Great’s victory and the battle that made Christianity the religion of Rome. Watch the Sunset from Piazza del Campidoglio Make sure that before sunset you slip around the backside of the central building in Piazza del Campidoglio, on top of Capitoline Hill. You’ll see a beautiful panorama of the Forum from above, with the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum in the background. *Day 2 in Rome* Have a Cappuccino at Caffé Sant’Eustachio One of the oldest and most famous cappuccino and espresso shops in Rome, Caffé Sant’Eustachio is famous for its home-roast beans, blended with water from an ancient aqueduct. You will find authentic, Italian coffee and some colorful characters! Visit the Pantheon Definitely a sight you CANNOT miss in Rome, the Pantheon is the only ancient Roman temple to survive the millennia virtually intact. The architecture will blow your mind, and you will need a few minutes just to sit in the piazza and take in the stately sight before heading inside. Go to Piazza del Popolo Make your way north to Piazza del Popolo, and if it interests you, check out the fabulous church of Santa Maria del Popolo. Explore Villa Borghese Adjacent to the Piazza del Popolo, you’ll find the grounds of Villa Borghese. Stop at the east end for great views over the city and epic photo opportunities. Sit on the Spanish Steps You can sit and people watch from the lively and iconic Spanish Steps before grabbing some gelato and taking a walk down Via Dei Condotti and the surrounding streets to do a little window shopping. Toss a Coin in the Trevi Fountain No trip to Rome would be complete without seeing the Trevi Fountain! The tradition is to toss a few coins in, to ensure that one day you’ll return to the Eternal City.  **NOTE:** As with all things ancient, the Trevi Fountain requires constant renovation and is drained to get some extra TLC right now. *Day 3 in Rome* Experience Vatican City Experience Vatican City Wake up bright and early so that you beat the tour buses to the spectacular, St. Peter’s Basilica, which opens at 7 am. If you are interested, following the basilica, climb the “cupola” for a workout and breathtaking panoramic views of the city across the river. Once you’re finished, spend some time in St. Peter’s Square out front, and visit the world-famous Vatican Museums, which open at 9 am, if you want to check out history at its finest. You can expect to spend most of the day at the Vatican if you’re a history lover! Visit Piazza Navona Back across the river, and home to Bernini fountains, cafés, colorful street performers, and large crowds, Rome’s famous Piazza Navona is a lively place to people watch and enjoy your daily gelato. Get Lost As with all first-time visits to a city, allow lots of free time to get lost and discover unsuspected treasures around Rome. Keep a map handy, but try walking around without a plan or destination. You never know what you’ll find! I also highly recommend exploring the city at night. There are countless evening walking tours if you are traveling solo and want a guide, but there’s no city quite like Rome lit up at night! Don’t miss it! **Thank you for having time to read my article ❣** Please **like**, **subscribe**, and **comment** on some motivation words so I can write more good articles.

The Ultimate Rome Travel Guide Rome, Italy Rome is one of the most iconic and most traveled cities in Europe, with a long history to match. With a mixture of cultures from around the world, Rome has it all. Wander the cobblestone street with gelato in hand, spend some time people watching from the Spanish Steps, and take in all of the stunning architecture the city has to offer. Rome is also a foodie's heaven, from the world-class cuisine to casual trattorias, to takeaway pizzas. Here's my ultimate Rome travel guide! WHAT TO EXPECT IN ROME *Rome is a big city with a great transportation system and friendly locals. I would recommend knowing a few key phrases in Italian but you will find many English speakers around in case you need assistance.* **Language:** Modern-day Romans speak Italian, of course, which is widely recognized as a language of love and romance. There are a lot of English-speakers around Rome as well. **Currency:** Italy uses the euro (EUR). Currently, $1 U.S. dollar will get you €.84 euro. **Credit Cards and Banks:** Cards are used all over Rome, especially Visa, but it’s more common to use cash for small items. Some museums and market sellers only accept notes. As a general rule of thumb, bring a few euros in cash with you wherever you go. **Climate:** Resting just off the Mediterranean Sea, Rome enjoys warm and temperate weather with averages of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Expect much more rainfall during the winter and hot and sunny days in the summer. April to June and late September to October are the best months for traveling in Italy — temperatures are usually mild and the crowds aren’t quite so intense. GETTING AROUND IN ROME **Getting to Rome:** Dozens of airlines fly to and from Fiumicino Airport daily, so you can pick and choose based on your point of origin. You can also wheel into Rome by train—most lines run into Roma Termini, Rome’s central train station. **Car:** Driving in Rome isn’t advisable— the traffic is chaotic in the best of terms and drivers are insane. **Taxis:** Taxis are an option but tend to be more expensive. **Public Transport:** Opt for wandering around by foot— the most romantic way to discover the hidden corners of the city— or use the impressive public system of buses, trams, trolleys, metro, and light railways. If you’re in town for at least 72 hours, try the ***Roma Pass***— just 38 euros will get you full access to public transportation, admission to two museums, and discounts on performance and exhibition tickets. ***TRAVEL TIP*** ***Uber is available in Rome, so if you're going further distances around the city, it is definitely an option!*** **Thank you for having time to read my article ❣** Please **like**, **subscribe**, and **comment** on some motivation words so I can write more good articles.

How To Spend 48 Hours In Oslo Most spending explorers skip Norway since it's a costly nation to visit. The capital, Oslo, is reliably positioned as one of the most costly urban areas on the planet attributable to its high assessments, solid money, and a high level of imported merchandise. Naturally, going here on a careful spending plan here is dubious. However, I despise everything urge you to visit, despite the fact that it is anything but a financial plan agreeable goal. There are interesting galleries, excellent stops, and shocking nature to be appreciated. It's little enough that a two-day or three-day visit is typically enough to figure out it. Day 1 **Wander Vigeland Sculpture Park** Start your day pondering this 80-section of the land park and see its 200 sculptures. Situated in Frogner Park, it's the world's biggest showcase of figures made by a solitary craftsman. Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943) made the assortment of bronze, iron, and stone sculptures that currently remain in this outside "exhibition" (you've presumably observed the celebrated 'crying child' sculpture via web-based networking media). In mid-year, the recreation center is the place you'll discover local people getting a charge out of the long periods of daylight. There are frequent occasions and shows held here too. From here, head down to Bygdøy island, where you'll discover huge numbers of Oslo's historical centers. **See the Viking Museum** This exhibition hall is home to the best-protected Viking ships on the planet, some of which go back to the ninth century. It's an inadequate historical center (the attention truly is on the boats) yet the internment ships (just as the safeguarded instruments and trucks from Medieval times) are extraordinarily uncommon and worth seeing with your own eyes. The historical center offers a short film and also, however, the free sound guide is the most ideal approach to make the most out of your visit. **Explore the Norwegian Folk Museum** Not a long way from the Viking Historical center is the Norwegian Exhibition hall of Social History. It has an assortment of more than 150 structures from different periods all through Norwegian history. It's an outdoors historical center, so you can investigate both the inside and outside of a significant number of the structures, some of which go back to the twelfth century. The most amazing of its displays are Gol Fight Church, a complicatedly cut wooden church built-in 1157. The exhibition hall has an enormous photographic chronicle just as huge amounts of noteworthy curios, reports, devices, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. **Visit the Fram Museum** As a northern nation used to freezing temperatures and cruel winters, the polar investigation is a field complicatedly woven into Norwegian history. This historical center features that history, concentrating on Norway's commitments to the polar investigation. The highlight of the historical center is the Fram, the world's first ice-breaking transport. The boat was utilized somewhere in the range of 1893 and 1912 and is really made of wood. The Fram made outings to both North and South Posts and cruised farther north and south than some other wooden boat ever. The exhibition hall is unfathomably pointed by point; there's a lot of photos, antiques, instruments, and huge amounts of data. It's exceptional to investigate Norwegian culture through the perspective of investigation. **Visit the Holocaust Center** Established in 2001, this museum highlights the experiences of Norwegian Jews (as well as the persecution of other religious minorities). It’s located in the former residence of Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian fascist who headed the Norwegian government under Nazi occupation between 1942-1945. It’s a somber and sobering place to visit but incredibly insightful with various exhibitions, photos, films, artifacts, and interviews from World War II and the German occupation of Norway. **City Hall** End your day at City Corridor, which is available to general society and allowed to enter. While it probably won't sound like an intriguing sight, voyages through the lobby are will give you bunches of understanding into the city and its history. Most imperative are the lobby's twenty paintings and masterpieces. They portray everything from conventional Norwegian life to the Nazi occupation. Likewise featured here is the historical backdrop of the Nobel Harmony Prize. It's granted here every year (the other Nobel Prizes are granted in Stockholm, Sweden). Day 2 **Wander Akershus Fortress** Initially implicit 1290, Akershus Post is a medieval fortification that developed into a Renaissance castle under Danish Lord Christian IV. At present, it's utilized as an office for the executive. It was worked for insurance and the post has never effectively been blockaded (however it surrendered to the Nazis during World War II). Inside the fortification is a military historical center just as a gallery devoted to the Norwegian obstruction during World War II. In mid-year,you can take a guided visit and there are frequent occasions here too (generally shows). Check the site to check whether anything is happening during your visit. **Take a Harbor Cruise** The Oslo fjord is stunning. With its towering cliffs, calm waters, and rugged green shoreline, the Oslo fjord should not be missed. You can take a hop-on-and-off boat that shuttles people from the various attractions and museums or enjoy a proper two-hour cruise through the fjord. I recommend the two-hour cruise since it goes deeper into the harbor and you see a lot more. It’s a relaxing way to spend part of your day — especially if you’ve been on your feet all day. **Explore the Royal Palace and Park** The Imperial Royal residence is the official living arrangement of the ruler (Correct! Norway despite everything has a lord!). Finished during the 1840s, it's encircled by a tremendous park and local people can typically be seen getting a charge out of the long summer days here. Throughout the late spring, portions of the royal residence are available to guests and visits. Visits most recent one hour and you'll have the option to see a portion of the extravagant and elaborately saved rooms and find out about the nation's rulers and how they governed Norway. **Visit the National Gallery** While little, Oslo's National Exhibition has a wide scope of specialists in plain view. Here you'll discover Impressionists, Dutch specialists, works by Picasso and El Greco, and the feature of the display, "The Shout" by Edvard Crunch. Painted in 1893, The Shout has really been taken from the exhibition twice throughout the years. Honestly, the exhibition doesn't have the greatest assortment I've seen yet it's by and by worth a visit. It's a loosening up approach to end your outing. Other Things to See & Do If you have extra time in Oslo, here are a few other suggestions to help you make the most of your visit: **Explore Nordmarka** – The Nordmarka Wilderness Area offers everything from biking to swimming to skiing. It ranges more than 430 sections of land and is home to hovels that are accessible for overnight remains. You can arrive at the territory in only 30 minutes via vehicle or 1 hour by transport. Abstain from going on Sunday, as that is the point at which all local people go so it will be busier (except if you need to meet more local people!) **Go Tobogganing** –On the off chance that you visit throughout the winter, do the Korketrekkeren Toboggan Run. The track is more than 2,000 meters in length and sleds are accessible for lease (counting head protectors) for 150 NOK every day (so you can take the same number of rides as you like). It's just accessible when there is a day off the timetable will shift, in any case, it's inconceivably fun and well known with local people as well! **Wander the Botanical Garden**– Home to more than 1,800 unique plants, this professional flowerbed/arboretum has two nurseries loaded with outlandish plants and an "Aroma Garden" planned explicitly for the visually impaired so they could have a tangible encounter (it's an extremely perfect encounter so don't miss it). There are heaps of seats so you can plunk down with a book and unwind, just as show-stoppers all through the nursery. Confirmation is free. **Go Swimming** -Oslo is encircled by water and has heaps of spots to swim. The water is spotless and safe and local people can be discovered swimming lasting throughout the year. Tjuvholmen City Beach, Sørenga Seawater Pool, and Huk are three spots worth looking at in case you're hoping to take a plunge when the climate is pleasant. Since there are a lot of attractions included, it's ideal to get the Oslo Pass. Like everything in Norway, attractions are costly. In the event that you plan on visiting heaps of exhibition halls (and utilizing open transportation),the pass will spare you a decent lump of cash. The 24-hour pass is 445 NOK while a 48-hour pass is 655 NOK (they additionally have a 72-hour go for 820 NOK).
