Roman Holiday! Minus Gregory Peck...

The past week I went to Rome for six days. It was a great time and really nice to get out of London for a bit. I flew out on Monday and just walked a bit around when I got there. As I was there I got a text message from my flat mate that our shower had leaked into our land ladies shop below us. It just seemed like karma coming back against her cause she is really dodgy. That day I had lunch at a really nice little mom and pop restaurant and they were so cute and they were really cute. I walked around a bit and ended up at the colosseum it was great it was night and it looked amazing. On Tuesday I went on a double decker open top bus tour. It was nice and I definitely saw different parts of Rome then I had seen before. I walked around for a bit and went to the Vatican. I went to get a ticket to attend the Papal Audience. After that I went to the Vatican museum and spent time walking around. I was able to see the Sistenth Chapel which is amazing. From there I went back to my hostel and read for a bit. I went to dinner at a place by my hostel. It was nice and I was given free champagne which always makes it better. I went back and talked with some girls from my hostel for a bit. 

On Wednesdays and is free to attend. It was interesting the Pope came out in the pope mobile and he was driven around and waved to the crowd. He spoke and there were different cardinals who spoke different languages, it was interesting just to be there. I obviously only understood parts of it. After I walked around a bit and ended up at Piazza Navona and sat for a while in the sun and had really great tirmasu. I walked on and went to Pathenon. I ended up at the colosseum and took the metro back to my hostel. I went back and had dinner at a place by my hostel and hung out in the bar with some girls from my hostel. 

    On Thursday I Went to a gallery in a park. It was a great place and the building and art were so great. I walked around the park for a while and enjoyed it. I ended up at this lookout with and amazing view of the city. I ended up at the Spanish steps and hung out a while and went in to all the high end shops that are around. I was followed in Chanel because I apparently look like I steal! I hung out and had dinner with the girls from my room. 

   On Friday  I went back to the Vatican and went up into the Dome. I walked up it all 500 some stairs. It sucked and was hard but I am happy I did it. I jung out up there and sat in the sun. I walked around from there and when to some new areas that my book suggested. It was really nice a different part of Rome that was not overly touristy. I went to dinner with the girls from my room again.  On Saturday  I went in a few shops and then had to catch a bus to take me to the airport. It was a great trip and really relaxing.
