Day 2488 (20/10/2016)

After breakfast we went up to the roof terrace, which offered a good view of the Colosseum and over the city.

Then we went on the coach towards the Vatican and paid the extra for a ticket with a tour guide (as it meant there was no queuing).

It was worth the extra money and the guide was quite informative.

 

 
You weren't allowed to take photos in the Sistine Chapel, so we got told off taking a couple.

We obviously took a few but tried to do it slyly, unlike the woman next to us who got told twice to stop but when she continued they marched her straight outside.

Then it was a look around the Vatican, where my comment about it being a silly place to leave kids unsupervised didn't go down well with the American couple in front of us but it was funny.

Then out for a quick refreshing drink and the bus back to the hotel.

We showered and dressed up and then went for another nice meal.

Day 2487 (19/10/2016)

After an OK breakfast at the hotel we had a 5 minute walk to the coliseum, which was very impressive.

Then we got tickets for a tourist bus and went for a tour of the city.

We opted to get off at place so we could have lunch and then visit a few sites, like the tomb of the unknown solider.

Some lunch and then we passed a little church, which was unbelievable on the inside.

The Parthenon, which was good.

The Trevi Fountain, which was lovely.

The Spanish Steps, which had a lovely tea rooms right next door.

Then back to the hotel and then straight out for dinner, which was nice but quite pricey with crap service, so we didn't leave a tip.
