Ancient Rome on a Saturday, St.Peters on Sunday
On Saturday we decided to try out the metro again and jumped on to make our way to the Circus Maximus. It was a much nicer day so we took the short walk to the Colosseum where once again we were lucky with the crowds (wasn't too bad at all). We joined an english speaking tour which was really worthwhile, then carried on past the Palatine hill, the Roman forum and other temples.
There were hoardes of people at the Panethon, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish steps so we really just had a quick look, threw a few coins into the fountain and headed back to our little haven by the pope's place.
Sunday morning we thought was the best time to visit St.Peters Basilica (along with a few thousand others of course), but we did get to see the Pope (albeit on a large screen), give mass. Also, when we went inside the Basilica there was a mass going on, the music from the choir really added to the amazing atmosphere of this huge church.
