Our last day.
... for a quick toasted panini breakfast and then continued on to the Colosseum. We opted for a guided tour when we arrived as the ticket line was so long it wold take us half a day to get in there. This meant we skipped the ticket line and went straight in and enjoyed an informative and historical talk with plenty of free time to walk around the snide of this amphitheatre built back in 72AD.

Luckily a group on the Metro with us seemingly knew how to find the gallery once we were ...
Viva Roma!
... lingual choir distracted from the sanctity of the church but seeing Michelangelo's restored ceiling was worth the trip to Rome.
We stopped at St.Sabina, an 800 -year -old church, on our way back to the hotel. It is phenomenal to see this well-preserved, ornate religious art.
