In Rome

Have had a busy couple of days in Rome. We arrived after having four great days in Zurich with Melanie's cousin Tamara, and enjoying Switzerland and it's wonderful scenery.

We have been going almost non-stop, but have still only been able to see a bit of Rome has to offer. We saw the Colosseum on our first day here along with the Palatine. The Colosseum was interesting but not a whole lot to see really. The Palatine was really cool, it was where all the the rulers used to build their homes and various other buildings. It gave a really good view of the Forum Romanum where all of the temples once were.

We are going to the Vatican tomorrow, can't wait for that. It should be wonderful. I walked through Saint Peters Square the first day I was here and was impressed but was to busy to really appreciate it. Will have an early morning trying to beat the crowds. Off to Naples next, going to see Vesuvius and Pompeii !!
