Our third stop was Rome. What a fabulous city bursting with culture and architecture! We docked in Civitavecchia where we met our tour guide. He took us to the train station and we rode the train into Rome. There is where we met with our Rome tour guide, Vincenzo. We started at the Colosseum. What a great sight to see! From there we could see Constantine's Arch (which I was dying to see) and moved from there through many sights in Rome. We saw the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain (which is what the picture is), the Spanish Steps and our last stop was Vatican City. We toured the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. They were both very worth seeing. Our tour guide could not have been more helpful and although we moved fast, we saw everything we wanted to see. I even got to try authentic Italian gelato! I'll never look at chocolate ice cream the same again!
