Well, it's Friday and tomorrow we pack up and take the train to Lucca for a week in the Tuscan sun. This post is just to include a few photos of our Roman tour.
Our apartment was just two minutes walk from the Pantheon which is a truly amazing building.
No visit to Rome could be complete without the visit to the Vatican and the Vatican Musuem. The work of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel was magnificent, but unfortunately no photos can be taken (although quite a few tourists were surreptitiously taking them). Below are two of the ceilings of the Vatican Museum and one of St Peter's Square.
The spiral staircase at the end of the Vatican Museum and Judith in the Map Room.
The Colosseum - which was more noted for its blood-thirsty killing of criminals, Christians (anyone really) and wild animals as a spectacle rather than the hollywood version Rusty style.
The Trevi fountain.
The Castel de San Angelo on the river Tiber.
