Day 23--Rome

we actually arrived here in Civitavecchia the port for Rome late last nite to stay ahead of a bad storm .. an early morning tour had us leave the port of Civitavecchia for the 1+ hour bus ride to downtown Rome.. having been here 4x before we decided to just do some highlites as well as visit St Peters at the Vatican.. a rainy late morning kept us in line at the Vatican.. wet wet wet.. worth the wait under soggy conditions to get inside St Peters.. after the visit a walk to a local restaurant for a nice I-Tal-yun lunch of lasagna.. and tiramisu with plenty of Chianti.. a lil' local shopping afterwards and then the bus ride back to the ship.. windy as hell at the port... Captain gave a last minute advisory due to the poor weather conditions that we would stay overnite in port and leave for Naples our next stop at 7am with a late afternoon arrival.. slow internet so not many pics while on the ship..more to follow later
