Sicily Day 15 - July 9th RomeFor most of the tour group this was the going home day. We were staying an extra day because of flight schedules. We went down early, even with a small hangover, and saw the many friends we had made off on the bus for the airport. Judy decided to lay around beside the pool in the heat I headed off into the city to observe the World Cup win celebrations. The shuttle dropped me at a convenient station, it couldn't go right into the city because of the chaos expected. I alighted at Coloseum station and walked up beside the forum to the Piazza Venezia then up the via del Corso before turning right and wending my way through the narrow streets to the Pantheon, what a spectacular place with the beam of sunlight pouring through the opening in the dome. Later I found some lunch. The celebrations were in preparation but had not started so I headed back down to the station, buying some watercolours on the way and rejoined Judy at the hotel.
