It was a beautiful day in Rome when we woke up and went up to rooftop to have breakfast.
Then we took a taxi to the Vatican as we had a tour booked
for 10:30am. We arrived there at 9:00am
and the lines were so long to get in that we almost missed our tour time.
The guide we had, with 10 other people was very
knowledgeable and told us a lot of things that we did not know before.
After the tour, we went into the Treasury and oh my gosh the
riches that are in the Treasury are amazing.
Everything gold or gold plated, gold threads, and lots of jewels!!
Then we walked back to hotel area and had lunch before going
to the Coliseum and Forman areas to see the excavations.
Then it was back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.
We took a cab because it was a long walk to dinner at the La
Taverna Del Fori Imperiali, voted as one of the top 10 restaurants in Rome.
We met the owner when he came to our table and the restaurant
has been in the family for over 100 years, 4 generations. The 5th generation is a boy and he
is 14. Amazing.
The food was delicious.
We have walked 18,647 steps for a total of 7.2 miles!!
Back to the hotel to go to sleep after having a glass of
wine on the rooftop terrace.
Night from Rome.
In the Treasury at the Vatican
Dinner - that's the owner
