Up and off on the bus to drive from Venice to Rome. We arrived in Rome and hit the ground literally running. We did a walking tour with a local guide seeing many sights; the great steps of the Spanish courtyard, the expensive shopping area with all the brands that I can only look at, the parliament buildings as well as other interesting places. We sat down at a restaurant in the square and enjoyed an Italian pizza. We the tasted some delicious ice cream and moved to another location to see the Vatican for the first time. How amazing!!!!!! So beautiful. Back to the hotel around 8.30 p.m. A long day but a wonderful day.
