We ate lunch sitting on a wall by the Colosseum. Pizza slices & coke. Then we were off to Vatican City. It was insanely crowded there. We had the same guide and he rushed us through as best he could to the Sistine Chapel. How I wanted to sneak a photo in there but didn't, but could have. No photography is allowed but Harmony managed to get a beautiful shot of the Creation of Adam. It took a long time to get there and it was hard to fight with the crowd to stay together. It was quite beautiful and dark. A part of the ceiling had fallen so it was patched, but they didn't dare try to paint the missing part.
We walked through St. Peter's Basilica. It was large and crowded. I don't know how many tour groups were there, but it seemed like every single one in town was here at the same time. I was relieved to be outside again at the end of the tour.
Did you know they had VHS TV'S there? That's so awesome. Lol...
We traveled back to our hotel. We didn't pay for the farewell dinner, so we snuck off down the street for our own meal. A delicious meal - pasta w/ broccoli (pureed), coffee, Prosecco, smoked buffalo mozzarella cheese w/ pears and walnuts drizzled in honey, and profiteroles for dessert. So delicious!
We took a walk back to the Trevi Fountain to look for souvenirs. We drank some Bacardi Breezers out of the bottle on a porch stoop. What a great vacation.
We settled into the hotel, packed our bags and fell asleep.
