Just a short walk to the Vatican today through Villa Alda, forest park, along main roads and the river, passing some famous landmarks.
Villa Alda parkland
Up close and personal with the army reserve
Emerging from the bosco (forest) to some historic fountains
Always time for coffee
We experienced some kind of graduation celebrations with students wearing garlands on their heads.
Lots of activity in Piazza del Popolo
The impressive Palazzo di Giustizia
Bridges crossing the Tiber. Ponte Umberto 1.
Street stalls
Castel Sant’ Angelo
Ponte Sant’ Angelo
Our first view of St Peter’s basilica- tourist central today
The Swiss guards directed us to the pilgrim office
We showed our completed credentiale - 30 days of stamps to confirm our journey from Florence
We were issued with a testamonium
Pleased with our achievement
No more backpacking...for a while...
A celebratory lunch
We are staying near the Vatican at Casa per Ferie Santa Maria alle Fornaci - a former monastery
The scene from our window
La via di Francesco - completo!
