Rome, Italy

Up and out early we tried to see if we could get in line early enough to see the Sistine Chapel, but by the time we got to the Vatican the line was well over 2 blocks long! Instead we went inside Saint Peter’s Basilica to see the world’s largest religious building and all its treasures. We had a great time in Rome and now it was time to catch the train to the port to start our cruise. We met our dinner companions: a couple from the Los Angeles area and two ladies from the bay area – we enjoyed dinner with them almost every evening on the ship. The pictures are here.
