Day 9 - ROME




First thing of the day to do was to go get the blessing from the Pope. Sharon had so much trouble understanding him that she wasn't sure if she got his blessing or not! She's sure tho' that he waved to her (and her alone!) 

After the blessings, and waiting for 30 minutes for the non-existent bus, we headed for the metro to the Spanish Steps. OK so they are just steps but they are pretty steps and the 3021 people around them thought so too. Horse and buggy was available to return to hotel but a little out of our price range.


Sharon wanted to go to the toilet again so headed off to Maccas after having been unable (once again) to find any kind of bus that was going our way.
We knew the metro like the back of our hand so boarded once again to hotel for a little rest.
Out to browse the streets then sat at a bar overlooking the Plaza della Repubblica for a wine and a few olives whilst watching the Romans go about their evening stuff.
Back to hotel and bed. We had a really lovely hotel in Rome. beautifully decorated and in a great location.
