Early Start (but worth it)


Most of our holiday, we didn't book in advance, preferring to decide on the day or the day before what we wanted to do.... The one exception was booking an early entry to the Vatican. We had to meet at around 7.15am, but the good thing was that we were the second group to be let into the Vatican museums, an hour and a half before it opened to the public. Which meant there were only about 100 people in the Sistine Chapel while we were trying to see it, rather than a billionty seven, which is how many people are there the rest of the time...


After our time at the Vatican, we went back to the hotel for the middle of the day, then headed out later to the Spanish Steps, Keats & Shelly House and the Hard Rock Cafe for a meal.


And finally, we met up with Sarah's friend Priyanka, who just happened to be in Rome for a few day overlapping us - we went for an ice cream with her and her dad...
