Well we decided that while in Rome we must of course visit the Vatican City. Well we read up on it in our trusty Frommers book and it mentioned that when the pope is in town he holds an audience at his place. So like good kiwis we invited our selves along.
It was a little chilly and was looking bleak 20 mins before the big man arrived. It started to rain so we had to bring out the trusty red plastic poncho's.
However if there is one man on this earth who should be able to stop the rain it's the Pope, right? Well thankfully he did stop the rain and we sat through a pleasant one and a half hour speech from the pope and his faithful servants. There were thousands of people there and all were as excited as we were.
The Pope is a very impressive man, he gave great blessings and addressed the crowds and groups with passion and thought. He spoke all 7 languages perfectly and fluently! Amazing!
And as Kevin proposed he was expecting us and gave Kevin the wave and the nod. Needless to say Kev was pretty stoked with that!
The Pope also addressed the fact that he had heard about Kevin walking on water a few weeks ago so has asked that we share this miracle with the world!

Glad yuo two are enjoying my namesake city, Roma! Have you had vino de tavolo with a nice quattro stagione pizza at the palazzo Navona yet? It's a MUST!!! And, Kev walking on water kinda freaks me out. Kinda. Love you guys, enjoy the absinthe in Prague. But beware the spirits that haunt the old town at night...
Great to see that you are keeping religion in your lives! And how lovely of Benedict to wave at you specifically.
Bugger all that though - I want to know, what about the party with the horns???? Tell please!

In fairness the walking on water thing happened in Bordeaux after a Holy bottle of Chateaux de Rothschild (or should that read a whole bottle?)
Dont go blind on the absinthe, otherwise its a trip back to Vatican City.
