Second full day in Roma and our first sleep in!
Started off with a trip to the catacombs, a series of underground tombs for the earliest Christian believers. There were over half a million tombs there! Whilst there we were led by Father Owen Mason, a Salesian priest, who has previously worked at Boys Town!
This was followed with Mass at St Paul's Outside the Walls- one of the four main basilicas in Rome. The body of St Paul of Tarsus, or Saul, as he was previously known before his conversion, currently lies here.
Our afternoon was splent at leisure, visiting sites such as the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Colosseum and Pantheon, and of course doing some shopping at Zara and H&M!
We ended the day, by farewelling our tour guide Valentina and bus driver Roberto. It has been an amazing week in Italy, and we are even more excited to be heading off to Madrid tomorrow!
Emma and Harriett :)
