| The Colloseum |
Wow, Rome. Where do you start? I'm overwhelmed, by the people, the heat and the sheer history of the city. I took a hop on-hop off bus tour, which is very handy, as you see all the great sights without hassles of metro, buses or walking for miles in this heat. And hot it is, 37, and there is little reprieve. I have drunk gallons of water!

| The Spanish steps |
Visited the big ones, The Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain, both which were unfortunately under repair. The fountain was not operating but still stunning to see and I did walk up all the steps but the church up top was under restoration. Next stop was the Colosseum and The Roman Forum, again so much history. When you read about how the area you are now standing in used to be a meeting place, money exchange, and business centre, back 2000 years, pretty interesting stuff.
Back to the Vatican later this afternoon and went in the Basilica. No words can describe the magnificence of this church, it is truly one of its kind. While there a Mass was in progress with a choir so attended that, which was special indeed.
Oh, and I have finally figured out the best use for the bidet: a great feet washer after a day's sightseeing, hehe (that's before the beer and shower).
