Rome: Day 2

Brief update on day 2 of 2016 in Rome (trying to post more and also record stuff down in case I forget). Had breakfast in hotel (which was not bad really!!!), then went to meet GQ's friend S who just arrived at Termini. We all went back to their hostel to put down stuff then walked in the general direction of Vatican City. Passed by the Colosseum on the way and took lots of photos in daylight but it kept drizzling!! Also very amused by the street sellers because it rained this morning and suddenly everyone had umbrellas and ponchos to sell instead of the selfie sticks it's as if they have some massive warehouse nearby or something ... Then when the rain stopped they all looked really disappointed or rather almost angry! After the Colosseum we passed by Piazza Venezia again and stopped at a gelato shop. Welcome back to the land of €2 gelatos!! Well that was actually €2.50 but it was good!! I had mixed berries and mango flavours :D 

We crossed the bridge to the other side of the river where Vatican City is and took lots of photos by the river with the Castel Sant'Angelo as the backdrop HAHA. Then finally arrived in Vatican City and it was so crowded omg. The sky started to clear up a bit by then so it was nice! But the queue for the holy door was too long and we arrived pretty late so the museum was closed. Wanted to see the garden but you need to make reservations for those apparently so we just took some photos with the Swiss Army at the entrance. They were really nice actually and one of them always smiled so slightly when people take photos of him!!

After Vatican City I made the 2 guys Coke with me to Brandy HAHAHA we walked along the main shopping street though. Didn't buy anything otherwise I'd have to lug them around the rest of the trip!! Also went to the other Brandy near the Trevi fountain and went to see the fountain again too. Still super lots of people even though it was raining. Had dinner at this rather nice place called Osteria - I liked their pizza more but Peter the spaghetti at L'Archetto! Also had 2 cones of gelato after dinner HAHA crazy but it was SO GOOD, it's called Gelateria Valentino and it's near the Trevi Fountain! I had the Ferraro Rocher (called Love Me) with tiramisu first then a more fruity combination of melon and mango. And the people were so nice!! Defo wanna go back again HAHAHA. Andrew also recommended a gelato place near the fountain with honey flavour but Idk if it was the same one so gonna have to find out .........

Really tired now so gonna sleep!!!
