Rome Day 3!

There are so many things to do in Rome, Hanna and I decided to stay another night.

Today we went to the Vatican because the museum is free on the last Saturday of every month, but unfortunately we arrived too late! They stop admitting people at 12 in the afternoon. Perhaps we will go back tomorrow, but during the rest of the day we walked around Vatican City (very very small...I really do not think it is worth having it as its own country but perhaps for political reasons) and went to Saint Peter's Basillica. The line was insane to get inside...and it was so hot so...we reasoned that we would skip that. Of course I got gelato again, and as usual it was fantastic.

We walked along the river (or canal?) and saw Angelo's Castle, which was just okay, and the Piazza Populo. After that we went back to the hostel to take a nap...and did not wake up until 8 pm!!! However, I suppose that is the right time to head out to Campo de Fiori, a nice area with restaurants and bars that does not really get started until after 9 anyway.

Italy is still quite expensive. I am missing Eastern Europe because it is so cheap!! However I do suppose that there are a lot of tourists in Rome and it is the high season. After this we are going to look for a place with a nice beach :D
