If you go to Rome, you shldn't miss the Vatican..at least go see the Swiss Guards..and the really good-looking security pple in black suits and dark shades..sorry we couldn't sneak a pic. ;)

The Trevi fountian was spectacular...even more so at night. I will come here on my honeymoon. :p

The Spanish Steps...with more reconstruction going on, ojn the church at the top.. It should be renamed the Tourist Steps. Spot David in the picture...and claim a treat to Fish & Co from him. (hahaha!)

The Holy See perched on angel outside Castel Sant Angelo... as per 'Angels and Demons'.

Following that, with Naples as a base, we explored the ruins of Pompeii...

A lava cast of someone buried alive..

In the ancient theatre, these brave warriors prepared to fight to their deaths.

And then Capri.... the land of my dream home, with clear pretty blue waters, beautiful cliffs and 5-star resorts.

The lovely cliffs...and little us up at the top.. (we couldn't go down cos there was a landslide and the roads were blocked off)

After having had a brief misfortune of havin gto sleep overnight in a train staytion in the most dangerous city of Mafia country, we finally reached Palermo, Sicily. It had a weirdly tropical feel to it...don't ask... but was very very pretty too..

Pretty columns in the Cathedral of Montreal.
