Wandering in Rome

After breaks any lying on the suitcase to get it shut it was time to grab a taxi and head to the other side of a Rome to explore. Driving in Rome is an experience!  The taxi driver even had his arms up in the air! Parking is another sight!  You can park anywhere you like, just stick your hazard lights on orsqueeze your car wherever it will fit seems to be ok.  

Found our hotel with no trouble.  Sent Kate up first with suitcase and I waited with my pack on (has grown again).  The guy was so excited to hear we from NZ and he went on about the All Blacks and the cricket players.  Are the cricketers doing ok this summer? Anyway elevator came back down and he told me to back in.  So here I am backing in we are both laughing as I keep hitting things then the doors shut and I'm pointing to see what floor we are on.  Got there in the end!  Dumped our bags and went to see what we could find.  

We crossed the river and followed it for awhile and we came across all these horses so decided to follow this parade.  We ended up in Vatican City without even knowing it! 

After a look around we went and found something to eat.  Even had some entertainment but that is a whole other story.  Went back to hotel and found our luggage in our tiny wee room.  Which is very hard to explain but the chandler just about takes up a quarter of the room. Anyway have caught up on some reading this afternoon and had a lovely relaxing afternoon.
