DAY 8 EUROPE TRIP - ROME

24 May 2009

DAY 8 EUROPE TRIP
ROME

Today is our final day in Rome before embarking on a Mediterranean cruise. After a slow start we went to Villa Lituania for mass. My brother and his wife met us there. At the villa there used to be an old walnut tree 31 years ago in the yard. We used to park our motorhome next to it. So we peaked into the yard and there it was.

After mass we went to the yard in the Lithuanian Seminary to see a sculpture of St Casimir before going back to my brother’s place.

The men caught the metro whilst my brother drove us women to their place via a short tour and stop at a famous bakery.

We spent a very pleasant day talking, eating, sipping wine and liquors. The time just flew. Before we knew it was time to make our way back. The men decided we needed to experience the metro so we walked around the wall of the Vatican. Hubby decided it was a mistake after I stopped and bought a lovely bag for 5 euros. We got on the train to then be quickly evacuated off it. Don’t know why. So we caught the next train and it was crowded. When we alighted it was nice and cool for our walk back. Now it is time to repack for the next stage of our trip.
