Met mum at 11ish and caught the bus to the Vatican for our papal blessing but the pope never showed up!!! We then caught the bus to the Colosseum got our tickets which we had already booked so we didn't have to queue very long. Once inside it was amazing how intact it was and how big it was. It was also very hot!!! We took some pictures then walked to palatine hill the emperors palace for 300 years now its ruins of Rome. Then decided we were too shattered to go round the forum so we headed for clod drinks and reflection. After about an hour we caught the bus to the Hard Rock Cafe however on the way Derek insisted we went inside the capuchin crypt/ museum, so we went inside it was a very strange place lots of pictures of monks and artefacts then right at the end was the crypt under the chapel with lots of unburied monks ! All skulls in one pile, lots of thigh bones in another, pelvic bones in another, very strange . Then we proceeded to the Hard Rock Cafe for tea.
