This week’s travel theme from Ailsa at Where’s my backpack? is Roads.
I have played again with the Roman theme, this time connecting a Roman Road in Portugal with the modern Roman road (as in from Rome) that leads to the Colosseum.
Roman road, Central Portugal
Another Roman road, Rome
At one point the Roman Empire covered most of Western Europe as well as the areas in Africa, Middle East and Asia that surround the Mediterranean. Below are the locations of the two roads pictured.

Hey Lena, thanks for your kind wishes. If I may ask, are those things stones in the first pic? They look so beautifully placed…like a god had done it himself.
They are stones indeed. It’s hard to believe that this road has been there for around two thousand years! Although not gods those Romans did create some amazing stuff 🙂
2,000 years? My goodness! And you mean to tell me that it has been that way ever since? That’s remarkable. I doubt I’d see any around here–the quest for new housing estates around here is like an epidemic.
Yes, there is only a small stretch of this particular road now but we can still find parts of Roman roads in most European countries today!
And the second is nice too. Seem like the vehicles were waiting for the green light, right?
Thank you Uzo. Yes, they were just starting off from the lights which gave me a chance to go on to the road to take the photo 🙂

I think I rode a bike–or tried to–on that Portuguese road! Still hurts! ;o)
Ouch, I have walked on it, riding has to be very painful! Kudos to you for trying 🙂
Believe me, I didn’t have a choice! Might not be the same road anyway. . . ;o)
