We had intended to check out the inside of St Peters Basilica this morning - we got there at 7.15 but it seems the Pope had called a church meeting in the middle of the square for 10am and with hundreds of thousands expected, he closed the church til after the meeting. We'll try again Friday at 7am.
We decided to do the walk around the Colosseum and then up the Palatine Hill for a view over the Forum and then back again.
Sort of like a walk through history. It was a walk through some of my history also as we visited places we had filmed from in the mid 80's.
Tomorrow we are off early to do a day trip to the Almalfi Coast and Pompeii. It will be good to see more of Italy.
The Coloseum (much of it is covered in scaffolding)
A view of the Forum framed through the arch of Septimis Severis.
On top of the Palatine Hill - bit like Town Hall Square in Sydney.
