We were sorry to leave Paris so soon but adventures were waiting with just one week left before our flight back home. We took an overnight train from Paris to Rome in a sleeper car this time. Once we arrived in Rome, we hopped on a tour bus with our luggage hoping to be able to use the bus to return to the train station when we departed. It worked out great!
Rome's job of preserving ancient history appeared to be much more difficult than that of Madrid or Paris. It was an extremely fast paced city with lots of traffic and construction/repair going on everywhere. Poor, Vern! So many projects he could help repair and yet so little time! During our time in Rome we focused mostly on the archaeology, monuments and churches. Vatican City was very special to visit. Our favorite church was the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Incredible and breathtaking! So glad we were able to see it the morning before departing Rome for Siena, Italy.
