Rome Pass

Visiting Rome for a few days?
Yes, but without spending my entire month’s salary if possible.

Meanwhile, a solution is to book a appartamenti Roma, that, if booked for more people, will definitely be cheaper than a hotel. Then, after taking a low cost flight, whose prices, if you’re lucky could be around 20 euros for one way, you can buy a discount card to save you time and money. There are many museums and cultural attractions to see you know, so it is better to hold the card and take advantage of certain benefits.

There are 2 pass-cards: the Roma Pass and Roma & More Pass that cost 23 and 25 euros respectively. Both are designed to facilitate tourist visits allowing him to enjoy the beauty of Rome.

They are promoted by the City of Rome and by the Ministry for Arts and cultural activities with the participation of outside companies that provide the transport network.
With the first card you have free access to two museums, while there are discounts on all other events like exhibitions, dance events, theatre, or other museums. The card also offers free access to the transport network of the city allowing the visitor to move easily.

The Roma Pass is composed of a Rome Transport Pass for travel on bus, metro A and B, trains to Lido, Viterbo and Pantano, a Rome Map showing the main attractions as well as information points, a Roma Pass Guide with the list of museums and all the events and services where you can get discounts of various kinds.

To use the card, you must fill it in with your name and it is activated on the first use. Its duration is three days and expires at midnight on the third day from the first travel and entry made.

The card that costs 25 euros, costing only two euros more than the Roma Pass, offers the same services, but also allows you to travel in the province of Rome, including Cotral buses and Trenitalia regional trains. If you have enough time, it is an excellent way to see what the Roman province has to offer. To get an idea of the most comprehensive services and discounts, see the website: http://www.romapass.it/ which contains all the necessary instructions.

For lodging, you can always book one of the appartamenti a Roma, you can find in the centre.

Find Scuba Diving In Thailand Sometime Soon

When you have the opportunity to seeLeopard sharks, whale sharks, silvertips, manta rays and year round scuba diving Thailand diving really is unmissable. Scuba diving is available on both coasts of Thailand - each complementing the other and providing scuba diving when the other is unsuitable because of the weather.

Liveaboards and shore based scuba diving from the mainland and the array of satellite islands around Thailand offer plenty of marine life and corals plus a few good wrecks.

Fringed by coral reefs as well as deeper offshore pinnacles, it’s not difficult to see Thailand’s popularity among backpackers and members of the dive community alike. Sheltered sandy bays supply the perfect depths for novice divers, while the more advanced diver can visit deeper sites and perhaps even fulfil the diver’s dream of seeing a whale shark or two.

The newly sunk HTMS Khram shipwreck is found just south of Koh Phi and has rapidly become popular among local divers. A remarkable amount of marine life has already been attracted to this wreck in a relatively short time.

The Samae San / Sattahip area has similar diving conditions, with the extra benefit of two large intact shipwrecks. The Petchburi Bremen is an old freighter sunk in 21 meters of water in the Khram Channel (Sattahip). It provides a home to many Grouper and Barracuda. The Hardeep is a cargo ship sunk in 28 meters during the World War II era. This ship is completely intact, and can be navigated from bow to stern entirely inside!!

With a massive hole torn through her belly the King Cruiser sank in less than an hour and provided the Phuket Diving community, at long last, with her own artificial reef. At 25 meters you’ll see the engine room and car deck. Returning to 18 meters you’ll find the passenger section which has the heads, bar and lots of tables and chairs. Even though the ceiling is pretty low it is relatively safe to enter as the doors are broken off.

At 20 feet you’ll see the captain’s cabin and wheel house. The reef is teeming with life and its proximity to Shark Point and Anemone Reef has undoubtedly had a lot to do with its rapid population growth. The wreck is an extremely well liked dive and said to be one of the best in location.

In Shark Island dives range from 28 meters and above at the southern tip to the surface and at the deeper depths you may see Leopard and Reef Sharks. At the shallow end you will see pretty gardens of vividly colourful corals and anemones and at high tide it is even possible to cross from one side of the southern island to the other. This site offers a great variety of fish including the Blue Ringed Angel, Long Fin Banner, and if you are lucky the odd resident Hawksbill Turtle.

A 3mm shortie or full length suit is usually enough for scuba Thailand diving.
