hello to you all. Firstly Merry Christmas to you all and thankyou for your comments it makes us feel less homesick.
Well it is Christmas morning here in Rome and the bells have just told me that it is 6.00am and Ralfie is sleeping beside me. I had to turn on the computer to see if there was any news from home as a Christmas gift and of course you didnt let me down... thank you XXXXX.
Well Roma... first impression were not great as we could not find a sign anywhere to help us find our way out. Anyway after being hasseled by all the taxi drivers and several wrong turns we managed to find our wayb to the train. Same hassell at the train station trying to get to our hotel... at this point I was over Roma but things have improved since moving from the tiny room to a room where we can move. The hotel is being renovated and so we think they were happy to keep us happy.
The colesseum was amazing and the forum even more so. I liked our guide more than Ralf probably because I didn't really know any of the history. Yesterday though ahhh the Vatican... this I loved sitting in the cistine chapel reflecting and praying was amazing. I didn't realise that when the Cardinals are in conclave they are locked in the cistine chapel. Rightly so as I dont think you can feel closer to God than there.
Ok enough from me as Ralfie is awake now and as keen as I was to read your messages from home. Chow from Sandrina XXXXX
Merry Christmas to you both, been thinking about you all day! Thankyou so much for my snow globe with Rufie and your Christmas tree, that was so beautiful. I put it up straight away in a special place, I will show you a photo when you get home. Keep having an amazing time I love "travelling" with you and it is so exciting to check in each day sometimes several times to see what you're doing and where you are. Love you both very much, Vic xoxo
