Its full of ruins and lots of paintings on the ceiling!!!

Viva Roma

Well....whoever built this place had a thing about big statues and lots of paintings on walls, ceilings, floors etc.

Amazing! And bloody hot.

Flight over was good - had spare seat all the way so was able to spread out a bit and not feel too cramped. Slept Ok ' as well as you do on a plane.

Found accommodation Ok ' although originally thought it out of the way ' need to catch 913 bus to train and then train to St Pierto station and then walk to Vatican. I must admit, was very apprehensive getting on that bloody bus as I had no idea where i was going - however must start trusting instruction givers because it was fairly straigth forward.

Accomm a bit out of the way but it is very peaceful and suburban. Own shower and toilet and aircon so pretty good.

Yesterday did the vatican and sistene chapel. Speechless. The basilica is so big and so very religeous!! Statues everywhere and lots of saints that I dont know anything about. Lots of nuns around the place (plus millions of tourists - although it-s not too bad. Bit of a wait in line but lots to take in.

Today got double decker bus to take me around the place. Went to colloseum. Again, bloody big and old.

Difficult to find things here ' only internet cafe is on stop number 9 and I have no idea where I am. I know that I have to go back to the bus stop and wait for a red bus!! Then back to Teminal station, then back to another station, then back to another station and then onto a bus....And Im home!!!

Tomorrow off to Florence and feel a bit better now that I have a ticket booked and I know where Im going. Hopefully booked accommodation on wotif ' havenàt received confirmation yet but fingers crossed.

When I get to Florence, Ill have a bit more time to relax. Ive booked 7 nights so that will be good. Ill also try and find out how to upload photos on to this page.

Gotto go....time has run out. Ciao kay

Hi Kay

Glad to hear you arrived safely and are finding your way around the place with not too much hassle. Just getting back into the swing of things is good fun! I bet you have had a few expressos and watched the people go by! Enjoy the trip to Florence. Nothing new in Perth (of course)- just bloody cold!
Keep the stories coming!
