Angels & Demons trail in Rome

After a lot of walking and aching feet and legs, we're finally back from Rome and London. No internet connection while there la, very the ex to pay for internet access, about 15€ for 24 hours, that's like RM80!! Crazy.

So, we had a quest while in Rome. Besides visiting all the old stones and buildings, we also had to find the signs from Angels & Demons. After i read the book the first time, i knew i had to come to Rome. I made aips read Angels & Demons, and amazingly she finished the book in the 2 days that we were in Rome. It was like, read the book, find the sign..... and now, we can't wait to go watch the movie.
the Pantheon, Langdon thought that this was the place that the first cardinal would have been, but he was mistaken.

the cardinal was here, in Chigi Chapel....unfortunately the church decided to cover the statue and the symbol on the floor. This was the for the EARTH symbol.

this is the Ecstasy statue, where the symbol for FIRE led them.

Fountain of the Four Rivers, this is where the WATER symbol was and where the cardinal was found.

the symbol for AIR

at St. Peter's square....

and this is where the heroine was kidnapped and almost the finale of the book

and this is where the finale happens, at St Peter's Basilica

can't remember if they have a scene inside the basilica

So, yeah, we did it, we found all the places that was described in the book and now we're going to watch the movie!! Have to spend £8 for the movie tickets, can't wait to go home to KL and pay RM10 eventough it's only a week away.

Other sites that we passed by as we were sightseeing around Rome.
