Last day in Rome – Jill and Sue off to visit the Catacombes of San Domitilla – the oldest in Rome with the only underground Basilica (church) and 17.5 kms ,on four levels, of ancient Roman tombs. The only way to see these was with a guide.
Soooo…a walk of a bit over an hour
Rome street parking – right on an intersection and a good reason to own a “smart car”
Arrived at the catacombes just as an English tour was starting – perfect timing. No photos allowed in the catacombes (you will need to google to see images) However did manage a couple of the church…
Inside the church , on our way out (front)
And the back of the church – entire church in Stone!
Up at ground level – in search of a coffee and bus! All new territory and very unfamiliar. The bus did not arrive so, again on foot, we set off following google maps. Some rather interesting areas (piles of trash, overgrown weeds, campervan park, and interesting folk). After about an hour we came across ..
Eataly – a farro fresh on gigantic scale – four levels of every type of food you can imagine! 
Looking down from 3rd level set my vertigo churning
A stairway to more heaven – bees and flowers!
Alcohol – in huge quantities!
Chocolate! A little taste test to keep our energy levels up.
Then a pleasant surprise as we exited, we were right near a train station one stop from home! Possibly the best thing that happened all day as we had already walked our 20kms and feeling rather footsore!
Russ is off at his pre-booked tour of the Sistine Chapel and the girls have an afternoon of collating all our belongings ready for our new adventure on the Amalfi coast!
It’s been fun Roaming in Rome and definitely prepared us for some long hikes at the next stop!
Must say looking forward to seeing the sea again!
All who wander are not Lost girls
