Rome : Evangelical and Universal

-
Image
Rome in all its glory Rome, the capital of Italy, is a city of ancient wonders and modern dreams. Once the centre of international affairs and the ultimate seat of power, Rome has more to offer to everyone than any other city that may attempt to compete with it. Visitors to Rome often take guided bus tours that cover large cities in Europe with groups, but this is not the recommended way to travel. To take in the essence of Rome, one must spend at least three days in the city. There are a number of connections into Rome. First off, the vast European rail network can take you right into the heart of the ancient city (Roma Termini). For travellers flying in, Fiumicino Airport is a great choice. The other, smaller airport, Campiano, is served by Europe based low cost carriers . However, if you're coming in by sea, you will probably dock at Civitavecchia, a port just outside of Roman perimeters.

The Last Train

The Last Train Ritam Saha 22nd February 2018 The last train stood on Platform 3 with it's lights on and thick smoke rising in a single black column from the funnel on top of its engine. A young boy in shorts stood in the smoggy night, his eyes hooked onto the last crowd of office-goers boarding the train to go home. At any minute now, they would all depart on this last train and the station would be quiet for the night. From his position in the corner of the platform, he had a fairly good view of the entire train. It's doors were open. Typical . Doors were never closed on these local passenger trains. He watched as people crammed into the compartments, pushing and shoving their way through. Like every other day, this last train too, was chock full. The digital clock on the platform read 11.27 PM. The train was due in 3 minutes. His attention was suddenly diverted by the sight of the portly stationmaster sauntering onto the platform from his room in the station ...
