Day 24 - Grant's Birthday in Rome
... Forum is small enough that even the audio tour directions were easily followed. Highlights included the place where Julius Caesar’s body was burned, the Roman Senate building, and the original green doors from the temple of Romulus.
It was now time for the Colosseum. We’d seen it from many an impressive vantage point throughout the day, but now it was time to go in. We already had our tickets, so we walked right in. We decided to sit down on a nice ...

... to the Basilica climb. As there was a very small queue here we decided to do it. After many steps up a very narrow staircase (no fat people here!) we arrived at the top to a stunning view of Rome. Afterwards we visited St Peters and even though Barb and I are not religous we were still moved by the experience.
