Vatican

Got the 64 from termini to st peters. Got off at wrong stop. Gobsmacked at Square them moreso by basilica where there was a mass going on. Photographic extravaganza. Overawed. Then to papal post office, posted cards and meandered to the vatican museum which had just shut. Got ripped off in a tourist cafe over the road. Foot sore and Jean bought some plasters. Went back and queued to get back in to St peters this time we headed for the papal tombs. Italian queues are tough places. The tombs were the tops. Saw JPII's tomb which was popular. Would have liked a history book and slower pace. Saw some swiss guards. Went back into the basilica and took more pics.
Got the 64 home waited ages and I was cold. When it came it was the most crowded bus in christendom. We were wrestling. There was a young couple who seemed to be enjoying the physical proximity rather too much. Much raised tempers too. Went to the station had a hot chocolate which was basically a hot chocolate mousse. Then found a chinese signed from the station. Risorgimento was cheap cheerful and a cheese free zone. Really enjoyed the dim sun and dicipus mains the translation was a treat too. Home via supermarket rang ally and resting tired feet. I need an early night. I am cream crackered.
