First Three Days- Roma

Sean and I had a smooth flight to Rome and arrived at 8:30 am local time on Monday. We got to our hotel (Luciani) which was across the street from Roma Termini (the main transportation hub in Rome). We spent the day getting used to our surroundings and stayed in to recover our sleep for the rest of the day.

The next day we woke up at 6:30 am and had breakfast then navigating the metro system to take us to the Colosseum (absolutely amazing!) then we walked around and explored the southern area around the Colosseum. We walked around the Palantine hills and then headed along the Tiber River to find the Aventine. We finished out the day by walking around the Circo Massimo and hopped back on to the metro to go home.

The second day (yesterday), we got an all day bus pass and headed to Vatican city. We walked around the Castel Sant' Angelo and then headed across the way to Saint Peter's Basilica. It was an incredible sight to behold and we got to walk around inside the church. Then we walked up the hill and paid to see the Vatican Museum, which included the Sistine Chapel (which was on my must see list). It was absolutely a 100% worth it. We have some amazing videos and pictures to show you all later.

Right now we're in an Internet cafe in Milan waiting to catch our train to Bern, Switzerland, at 6:25 pm. Our train from Roma Termini to Milan Centrale was late to our station so we missed our original connection to Bern which was supposed to leave at 11:20 am. Thank goodness for Eurail passes!!!!!

Hopefully we'll have Internet at our hotel in Bern so we can upload some video and pictures from my laptop. Post again soon!!!!!!!
