With a little bit of good luck we ended up spending our first day in Italy at holy mass with Pope Francis and Andrea Bocelli in St. Peter’s Square! We followed that with a busy few days visiting all the amazing historic sights around Rome including: the Colosseum, the Vatican Museum, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. We loved Rome so much… except for the bed bugs. Photos taken with a Canon 5D Mark III.

Just bitten, or did they come with you? Those are the worst. I met with a bunch in my hostel in Prague. It’s pretty much the reason I hate Prague. Mark Johnston October 13 Not just bitten, eaten alive! And they were scary huge. We took immediate action upon arriving in our next hostel–having bagged all our clothing we took it right to the laundromat. Doesn’t seem like we’ve been followed thankfully.
