Cinco De Mayo - Visit to Rome

Today was our day to visit Rome. We went to the train station in Napoli and caught the train to Roma.  Upon arrival we took a walking tour going to the Rome Coliseum, The Sistine Chapel, and Vatican City.  We think this is one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.  We also took a bus tour around Rome to get a better view of the sights.  The Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican were very impressive.
