Rome day 3 ...

... began with rain.  We headed for the Vatican to visit St Peter's but the queues to get through security were so long that we gave up.  That's the end of the queue on the left in the photo, it went all the way around the piazza behind us to the entrance on the right!!



Spent a few hours in another fascinating museum, ground floor was all exhibits, mostly statues, but the rooms on the first floor had amazing decorations - and when we came out 2 hours later the rain had stopped, hooray.  



Walked through the old town, piazzas, narrow streets, huge palaces and across the Tiber to a simple basilica with a great view.




Back in our apartment we had no hot water but we were talked through what to fiddle with to get it working again, so have even done a bit of DIY in Rome!
