Rome – Day Six
We had afternoon tickets to visit the Colosseum which left us with time on our hands in the morning. We used it to visit the Museum and Crypt of the Capuchin Friars. I found the history of the Capuchins extremely interesting, especially as it included two of my favourite saints; Francis of Assisi and Padre [...]

After travelling to the airport, we checked our car into the meet and greet service which also gave us fast track through border control.
After checking in our luggage, receiving [...]
