Rome

Another sleepless night so we have packed up and moved over to the Vatican.

New hotel and room the size of a postage stamp is just around the road from Vatican City. Seems nice enough and quiet.

We had a good look around this morning and wandered along the Trevere river to the castle Sant Angelo fortress a very impressive structure that various popes used to hide from their enemies in. When we arrived there was a parade being organized of different horses and horsemen there were people and tv cameras everywhere. I think every policeman had turned out for it.behind the parade were 3 road sweepers that swept up the horse poo.

The procession stopped at yet another beautiful building and we were wandering around for a while befor we realised we were in St. Peter's sq at the Vatican. We still don't know what the parade was for people just said a celebration.

I had been looking for a post office for days and there was a mobile Vatican post... Perfect.
