On the Eurail to Rome


Images of the Italian countryside on the way to Rome






This was taken at the church closest to where we are staying





I went for a run and came across this: St Francis of Assissi


We went to a Sardinian restaurant and this is a Sardinian beer


The traffic in Rome is unbelievable


Take your mark, set . . .


I needed this after the bus ride




The Polish Pope. "Blogoslawie was wszystkich" (Check Google translate for the meaning)


The Romans liked to put colour into many of their statues


Strike a pose


The Vatican's gardens


The view from the Vatican





This statue has glass for the eyes




A sneaky selfie in the Sistine Chapel. Look closely, just above my head, and you can see the famous fresco of God's outstretched hand to Adam




St Peter's Square




St Peter's Basilica





The embalmed body of Pope Innocent XI






St Peter's Square


The Pope's guards





The River Tiber




The Pantheon

Who's the centurion?





The World Game!!!
