Roma, the name conjures up images of love, the coliseum, the forum, and of course Vatican City. On a day similar to yesterday, the day started out partly cloudy and as the day progressed, clouds began forming. By early afternoon there were a few scattered rain showers but nothing like we had the day before.

We met our driver at 7:30 and it was off to see Rome. By the time we arrived there, my first thoughts were thankfully we were not there during the height of tourist season. The traffic in Rome rivals Washington DC.

But, our trusty driver knew the city well, and managed to get us around without a lot of trouble, and we went to the Parthenon, the Vatican and saw the Sistine Chapel, the Coliseum, the Forum, the Spanish Steps, the Catacombs, Trevi Fountain, and many other sights around the city. And we had another fantastic lunch at a small local café.

After a very long and tiring day we arrived back at the ship shortly after 6pm. Tomorrow is Naples, Pompeii, and a couple of other places for another long day.

Until then, Cheers.
