Rome, Italy

Today we tried to go to the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, but we arrived only half an hour before closing time so decided to try again tomorrow.

What we did instead was catch a train to Piramide to go and have a look at Piramide of Caio Cestio. This small pyramid was a dud. I don’t know what, or who, it was for as there are no descriptions or entrances to have a look in. (I’ll have to look it up in my Rome book).

We caught the train back to Colesseo to go to Chiesa di San Pietro in Vincoli, but it was closed such has been our luck for the day.

We decided to go home and do the laundry and have an easy afternoon. We cooked pasta carbonara at the tent and spent most of the night hanging with our tent neighbors, Nelly & Luke from Spain via Britain. They gave us some tips for tomorrow and for Florence when we go on Monday. We went to bed at around 11 pm to help with our early start tomorrow.
