It was 7.30 in the morning and it was amazingly quiet. It was great too see it again, having filmed here in the mid-80's. I always loved the beams of light that make their way into the Basilica early in the morning.
Janine was happy too, having seen the Vatican Museum and the outside of St Peter's it was good to be inside.
At 10am we joined the tour to the Catacombs, Appian Way and a Roman aqueduct. We couldn't take any pictures inside the Catacombs, but it was a fascinating tour. Outside on the Via Appian, you can still see the wheel ruts from the Roman chariots and carts.
We had lunch in Piazza Navona and then walked the narrow streets to the west of the Piazza, the opposite way to the Pantheon. Some amazing old buildings, doorways and shops. I couldn't resist showing you the following ones - Jane Faase will like them I know.
Tomorrow we're on a train from Roma to Florence, so our next blog will be from Firenze.
