Josh herer again. After having breakfast at Topsiders, we hopped off the boat to discover Rome. We tried the Disney Tours for the first time. Our first stop was the catacombs. We came through an entrance in a church and instantly the smell hit our noses. The smell was explainable as this was the burial ground of 5000 Christian men, women and children. The Romans knew that the catacombs were a Christian burial ground but what they didn't know was that deep within the tunnels there was a room where they could go to pray.
The next part of our adventure was the great building of the Collusium. The line up to get in stretched down blocks and blocks but the thing about going with the Disney tour was that we skipped the whole line and walked straight in. As well as getting some of the best photos ever, we saw how the Collusium had changed through the years.
The last stop of our tour was the Vatican. Just in case you don't know (I didn't), it is the head church of Rome. Although the Vatican wasn't a burial chamber, it still held hundreds of dead bodies including 158 popes (that's one of the weird thing I'm going to remember in life).
