Ok so day two started pretty early as we walked about 5 minutes to the train station, which doubles as a metro station underground. We caught the metro going the wrong direction for one stop exited, and then bought another ticket going the right direction.. haha italiano can be difficult. We got off the metro at the Vatican stop walked a few blocks and walked into St. Peters square (obviously a very famous site) we purchased an audio tour for St. Peters Basilica and it was honestly breath taking the murals, paintings, archistructure, etc. This was absolutely amazing!
we walked throught the church for over and hour and then bought tickets to go on top of the church and it was completely worth the winding staircase and twisted path (sort of reminded me of Willy wonka and the odd rooms). It was a great experience, but once we got to the path, all of Rome was in our view.
we walked to the sistine chapel, which you are not allowed to take pictures of and walked through rome and to the spanish steps...
more pics to come.
The next day we headed to Florence for 1/2 a day and continued on to Venice, where we spent a day and a half.
Today is Saturday and we are contemplating going to zurich 2 hr drive but all three of us have bad sore throats.
Love you all
