Apologies for another absence over the last couple of days...while we have had a good internet connection at our B&B, there has been an inescapable exhaustion that has rendered us unable to blog :)
Wednesday was our first full day in Rome and we went full force. We did the "Caesar Shuffle" which included visiting the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill. We also hit up the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. All were great, especially the first three. We were glad to see the last bit as well however these areas were very very touristy and filled with vendors shoving roses and knick knacks in your face...quite annoying.
Yesterday we visited the Vatican which was a site to behold. We spent about four hours touring the museum, square and basilica. Again, breathtaking. We also visited the tombs of the popes, including the grave of John Paul II.
We are now checking out of our hotel with bleary eyes and tired feet...but we will make the best of our last day in Italy until our flight leaves this evening.
Arrividerci Roma!
Shave that beard, young man. You look like a ruffian/Liam Neeson trying to get his daughter back.
