When in Rome...

Rome was out of this world! I never realized how much there was to see and do! So for this reason I chose the extremely long and detailed tour of the Eternal City! The passengers were paying $320 a person, so I figured it would be good! Saw the Vatican City, Museum and the Sistine Chapel! So crowded but amazing to say the least! We saw St. Peter’s Basilica, which is the largest church in the world. I could not believe the size and the beauty inside. I threw a coin into the famous Trevi fountain, which means someday I shall return to Rome (hope so!). We had lunch in a beautiful restaurant where we had pasta, bread and olive oil, chicken, dessert, and of course wine and espresso! Later in the afternoon we quickly saw Circus Maximus, the Forum, and then spent a long time touring the Coliseum! It was very impressive! So exciting to be there, so much history! I slept the whole way back on the coach, I was exhausted!
