The last couple of days spent in Barcelona were good fun.  We ended up doing a walking tour of the city which was really interesting. Funnily we learnt about Barcelona drivers having an accident every 10 seconds, and that they always park with their handbrake off because everyone touch parks!  We also went to the Picasso museum, the works there are amazing, also an extra interesting museum as he actually put the collection together himself, so quite unusual for a collection like this to be put together before the artists death.

We arrived in Rome and it is quite noticably colder here.  We spent our first day wandering around, walked down to the Colloseum for a look, pretty funny for a 2000 year old MCG!  Yesterday we caught the bus around the city looking at all the sites, went to the Trevi fountain and did some shopping ( 5 new Italian shirts!).  Today we went to the Vatican, it is huge and the Sistine chapel is incredible.  Tomorrow we are doing a tour of the Colloseum and then heading south for the next few days.

  3. Nah no vatican run Matt - cheated and paid more to skip the lines.

    Thanks for the spelling lesson guys! I'm surprised I haven't made more, normally in such a rush and the Internet cafe keyboards aren't always that great.
