Today we hit Rome - and what a madhouse!! This week has been one of national celebration and Rome was just heaving!! Caught the train to the centre of Rome then onto the Metro - what an experience! Imagine a 5 thousand man scrum trying to get into the underground at once. We were pushed and shoved into a carriage - breathing room only - then off the the Vatican City. The crowds!!!! Unfortunately because of the crowds the Pope was not able to meet us personally..... (sorry Annette!)
Still we managed to enjoy Rome - particularly the walk through the Foro Romano but missed out on getting into some things because of the massive waiting lines. Spectacular ruins, buildings and statues. Hmm - will just have to go back!
Tomorrow we travel to Ancona then onto the overnight ferry to Croatia.
