ROME (Italy) – we tied up in the port of Civitavecchia and our small group were one of the first to escape the ship and meet our guide, Andrea, who made us welcome and prepared us for a whirlwind tour of this great old city of Roma…. Would take too long to describe every wonderfully historic site, but we packed in more than I can remember - including the Pantheon, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Colosseum, Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, St. Peter’s Square & Basilica, etc., etc., and even ‘The Keyhole’!! Every single place we visited today was totally amazing, the workmanship and grandeur of these beautiful masterpieces is almost unbelievable, given their tools of the trade!
Photos above are: Colin at Trevi Fountain; what a physique!; inside the Colosseum; “Happy Birthday Garry”; Helen & Katie ‘eating pizza’; inside the Vatican Museum; the Pope (he didn’t come out to greet us); Judy in St. Peter’s Square with St. Peter’s Basilica in the background.
