The Italian Blog - Part III

Picture the scene: Our hostel room (and pretty much the apartment) doesn't have any windows. We get ready for a day at the Vatican and much to our suprise when we're about to leave - it's raining. It's only a fine rain and it doesn't look like it will hold up, but by the time we've been waiting in the non moving cue at the Vatican, the downpour is relentless!

We finally managed to get in, soaked to the bones. I discovered that trying to dry your jacket and shirt under a mens room hand dryer is pretty futile. The museum was however, amazing. I was especially awestruck by the Rafello galleries and the Sistine chapel.

So now what do you do with the time, whilst your clothes are in the laundry? I choose to blog! This evening we're going to be boring and go to this mad resturant that we read about and went to on our first night. The service is a bit rushed, but the food was really good. Katie was in especially high spirits as the waiter deemed it suitable to give me a bib for my pasta!

Ciao for now.

There is a rather good restaurant near the Trevi fountain - though it pretends to be a wine bar.

enjoy!
