ARRIVING IN ROME
We planned on arriving in Rome two days before our tour but our original flight got delayed until the next day. So getting here early paid off as we still had a full day to rest and see some sights that we had planned ahead of time. We decided to walk off some of our jet lag and get to know our neighborhood which was located right next to the Vatican! After a quick lunch we headed out to visit the Scala Santa (The Holy Stairs) and the Basilica di San Giovanni across the street.
