We had hoped to let a student or two post blogs today. But it is the end of a long day and they need their rest.
We started at 7:30 and saw the Italian countryside as we rode in. Our hotel is in a town perched on a small mountain overlooking the countryside. It looks impressive from the valley floor. Vatican and Sistene Chapel were fantastic. We think the students were suitably impressed. Lunch. The Coliseum was great and our guide filled with knowledge. We walked Rome in the afternoon: Trevi, Pantheon and Navoina Piazza. After a little free time, we crossed the Tiber at the bridge to Castel St. Angelo. As the sun set we walked the beautiful approach to St. Peter's to get the full effect of the whole place- a great photo-op that everyone can share with you. Dinner in a local restaurant and then 'home' by 10. We start for Pompeii at 5:30 which means wake up at 4:45. You might have heard the goans all the way to Vancouver. They can sleep on the bus though.
So much already seen, so much yet to see.
