It's a sad day as we are leaving our nice villa in Tuscany and heading for our last destination - Rome. We took a photo of the car before we left. Here's us in front of it.
Luckily, no scratches or dings.
Our trip to Roma was uneventful. We only stopped for lunch and toilet breaks. The scenery was lovely as all the trees were turning yellow and orange. The drive to our apartment in the centre of Rome was quite easy to get to. The GPS has done us proud. Our apartment is literally on the other side of the Vatican city's wall.
There's the wall behind me and mum. The entrance to the Vatican Museum and Sistine chapel is down the road, only 5 minutes walk away. After unpacking and resting for a wee while we had a stroll down the road to St Peters Square.
From this exact spot you can not see the other columns hiding behind the front columns.
Here's dad leap frogging in front of St Peter's Basilica.
Me and dad in front of the piazza. It's quite huge. When we were there was only a short queue to enter the Basilica. We thought we might as well join them. We only had about 30 minutes to look around before it closed.
This is Michaelangelo's Pieta. It is behind glass. So, we couldn't get close enough to see it well.
This is one of the several domes in the Basilica.
The sun was going down. So, it was getting dark inside.
There were lots of seats out ready for tomorrow's church service.
This is one of the Swiss Guards, who protect the Pope. They aren't clowns!
Finally, we headed home for dinner. Pasta again!
Ciao.
