Day 13: Rome, Vatican City
Unfortunately our final day as a group was this day…but we have a lot to do today! The Vatican is a place we have wanted to visit for quite some time, there is so much history here to take in over one day! We arrived as a group at the Vatican and were able to quickly get inside! Our walking tour guide met us there and was very friendly, easy to listen to and very knowledgeable.
The amount of art and quality of craftsmanship within the Vatican museum is something like we hadn't seen before. Every square inch was decorated and represented the passion that went behind it's construction.

From here, we were on our own to explore for the rest of the afternoon. The group was going to meet up that evening for our last group dinner of the trip! Nicole started our free-time by visiting the Vatican City post office to send off a few post cards to friends and family! We ended up catching the metro back toward the hotel with Kathy and Con from the group. The four of us had lunch near the Repubblica metro stop, at La Cucina Nazionale. We had great service and pretty a pretty nice value meal! After lunch we went back to the hotel, to make sure we had our things rounded up for the trip home the next day. While we were there, we coordinated a Taxi with members David and Kathy, who were also flying out of the airport at the same time. It was nice to be able to split the cost of the Taxi!
Our group dinner was very nice, the food was excellent and the service was very friendly! We had a room in the back to our own, as the night wrapped up, we had quite a few laughs and said our "goodbyes" to the group. Unfortunately we were all heading back home in the morning!
