Yesterday we arrived in the morning, got our hotel rooms, had some bfast, then took a golf cart tour of the city.  Nice easy way to see things and get a lay of the land.

Today we went to Vatican City and went thru the Sistine Chapel.  Mega walking!!!  I clocked over 11k steps on my Fitbit.  I’m cooked!

Tomorrow we are going back to Vatican City to view the Pope.  On Wednesdays he gives an audience.  They typically average about 80,000 people for this.  We need to get there about 7am to get into our seats.  Afterwards, we have a tour booked at the Coliseum.  Tomorrow will be a very long day.  Thursday we get onto the ship for the cruise back home.

Title: Re: Rome
Post by: Mac Attack on Nov 22, 2023, 09:00 PM
Cheese!
Everything has cheese in or on it.
Everything!

Today I put on over 14k steps.
Saw the pope this morning.
He said to say hello to you guys.
Then we did the coliseum.
Then the Roman Forum.
Then an Irish Pub for dinner.
I ate Guinness.

Tomorrow we board the ship.

It was only in the mid 50’s but a beautiful day.  Again, I put a bazillion steps on my Fitbit.  My calves are so sore!  Tomorrow we do a walking tour in Corsica.  More steps!
The big day will be Monday when we go to Gibraltar.
I signed up for a hiking expo to the top of the rock.  That will probably kill my fat a$$.  Lol
