Our second last day in Rome was just spent wandering around revisiting favourite places as well as stumbling across a few new ones. We walked into the city centre rather than taking the metro as it was a really nice day and no rain. We have been so lucky with the weather over that past few months and have had hardly any rain and generally fairly mild weather. We were sad that our holiday was coming to an end but looking forward to catching up with everyone at home.
It was a public holiday in Italy for the "Feast of the Immaculate Conception" and the city centre was packed with people because the Pope visited Piazza di Spagna in the afternoon and laid a wreath at the statue of Mary and also the lights of the Christmas tree in Piazza Venezia and also the tricolore Christmas lights in Via del Corso were turned on.
