We arrived in Rome yesterday after a 12 hour flight from Singapore. The flight went pretty quickly again (doubt it will be like that on the way back). Got to our hotel which is a 2 star establishment... let's just say it hasn't been graded in a while and leave it at that! At least it is close to everything we need.
Went in an illuminated tour of Rome which was spectacularrrrr. Saw all the usual tourist things and saw a few good hotels in a different location for next time.
Today we started off with a visit to the Vatican. It opens at 8.45 and we got their with out tour about 8am. Line up was mamouth, almost Heaven esque (That's Heaven the original, not Heaven II Bradz).
Once again very overwhelming to see so much stuff in the one place and did I metion it was huge!! Everything is here. Even the monuments to different historical figures, seems they all tried to out do themselves when they created them.
Well enough for now, coloseum tomorrow as well as the Spanish Steps then off to Florence.
Ciao for now!
Davey & Jane
