bye bye historical scene, hello outer surburbia!

so been busy last couple of days.

went to the vatican city, it was huge and amazing!! then went to the sistine chapel and those museums paid €14 for entry and after an hour i got so over it! every room looked the same! but still amazing! and it was packed with people. I wasnt allowed to wear a hat inside so the romans suffered my greasy hair. Lol, on the way to the museum there was this window and a pope lookalike was in it clapping so i clapped back and waved. my highlight of the day lol.

Also went to some shopping centre which was abit bare but was interesting using the roman transport system! So much cheaper than melbourne! €1 allows u 75 minutes journey!

On Friday we changed hotels so no longer in the heart of historical rome but in the outer suburbs and its insane how much it reminds me of my mums city in Iran! literally same landscape and shop formations and also a massive, quaint park in the centre.

The current hotel is nice, has free internet and i just finished a huge buffet breakfast! score, save on food for the day. This couple were putting custard croissants in their bags! lol, i hope it opens up and spills. The hotel has a gym but its so crap, has 1 treadmill and a chest press, and this sit up thing and i fell off it. And the treadmill didnàt even work.

Anyway off to this shopping centre today which is the third largest in Europe! (apparently. the hotel concierge named mario told us that, but he was this moody, grumpy guy so maybe he lied to us) We can only get there by taxi but its only 10 mins away so il wait till the nice concierge lady comes back. Moody mario will probably tell the taxi to take a scenic route or something.

Hope you all are well and are loving the weather, our only english tv channel BBC tells me its 35 degrees etc. Its actually good here in Rome, 21 but still would prefer it warmer.
