Rome

Here we are in Rome.
Man there's a lot of old stuff here, a good property developer could make a fortune!!!!

Today we checked out the Pantheon (awesome), the Spanish steps (so-so), Trevli fountain (pretty cool) and stood on top of the big white monstrosity that houses the tomb of the unknown soldier and was built for the first King of Italy. From there we could see right across ancient Rome (as pictured) which we will check out more closely later on.

Tomorrow it's Vatican city.
Every Wednesday (if he's in town) the Pope speaks to the masses at 10.30, so hopefully we might see him. (If I hadn't lost my phone I could text him and check, but maybe he'll read this blog and give us a wave anyway?)
