Today is our last day of touring Rome....where did the time go? We had a leisurely morning as we had nothing planned until noon, so we had breakfast at the hotel and headed off to Vatican City and just wandered about for awhile and finished some last minute souvenir shopping. At noon we headed off to our Vatican Tour. This was a very interesting tour.....our tour guide today was Daniela and she was very informative! We started off with the Vatican Museum and ...

Laura, Teresa, Kelsey and Lisa, you guys will definitely relate to how this day started!! It's my one moment of panic that happens on almost every trip!! This morning, of all days, I overslept! We were supposed to leave the hotel at 6:45 am and I woke up at 6:50 am.....not good. We hopped into our two taxis and took off into morning rush hour traffic. If I thought that traffic was crazy when we were walking, it's even crazier when you're riding i...

While we were waiting, we had a small...

Our first stop today was at the Colosseum. We took a tour that let us skip the ticket line (which was VERY long....at least an hour wait just to buy tickets) and we ...

Today was the last day of our Oberammergau tour. Luckily, we were part of the group that got to sleep in and take the late shuttle to the airport…yay! I wouldn't want to have been those poor souls leaving at 4:30 am :(   The majority of our tour group was on later flights, so we enjoyed one last breakfast together before saying our sad goodbyes to Robert. He was so awesome on this trip; we were wishing we could bring him with us to Rome! Once we got...
