In my previous life as a Railway Engineer I spend lots of great times in Italy. We had offices all over.
Funny thing though, I never actually got to Vatican City so I'm also very excited.
It was quite a good day trip was far more impressed with the cathedral than I thought I would be but the climb to the top is if the weather warm quite challenging for some and to be honest so crowded up on the viewing Point it was not fun.

But saying that I will never forget the way the Nuns taught the ostentatious candians a lesson when they would not let them look at the very expensive silver and jewel encrusted crosses on the wall behind the counter but did my wife who was looking for the cheapest smallest crosses she could find to send home as much as possible for family and friends.


I love Italy and it's people warm and friendly but sad to notice the looks we got this time from some :-(
