Roma, Italia

Arriving in Rome Tuesday afternoon with Ryanair from Catania, we checked into Suite Dreams hotel in via Modena and walked to the Trevi Fountain. It was busy and the weather was mild (18-22degrees). We were able to take some great photos and toss a coin each into the fountain over our shoulders. Afterwards we had dinner at Adeva Cucina Moderna and walked back to our hotel.
Wednesday 13 May, we decided that after breakfast at Rosemary's Cafe, we would walk to the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs
(Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri) before continuing onto the train Termini to catch the Bigbus to the Vatican City. It was great to revisit some of the big attractions. The whole afternoon was spent at the Vatican, going to the Museum, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. On our way back to the Hotel, we called into Target Restaurant close to our hotel for dinner. It had interesting food and the staff were very engaging and fun. It had been a huge day and we were keen to rest our weary bodies.
On Thursday we had a slower start to the day, Brunch at Rosemary's, walked to Capuchin Crypt and Museum, shopped locally and caught up with Matt and Bowie at Orient Express La Minerva Hotel Restaurant. Off to Stavanger, Norway, tomorrow morning, via Oslo to see Kristin and her family.Read more
