Day 2 in Rome

This morning we were served breakfast by Maria and we were on the Metro to Vatican City by 9.00(ish). We lined up in a huge line in the searing heat to visit St Peters and Papal tombs. The line moved surprisingly quickly and we were soon being impressed by the opulence and grandeur of this big old Church. I'm sure I saw a popish figure scuttling around. I'll post the photo tomorrow.

We then did an interesting boat tour of T Tiber and learned a lot about bridges. We then visited the Pantheon, another old church, and then the Trevi fountains which were very impressive and I dipped my head ro cool down.

Tomorrow we plan a city bus tour and possibly the Cistine Chapel which was closed today.

GOT TO GO INTERNET TIME ABOUT TO RUN OUT.
