Rome Italy day 11

Got to sleep in a little this morning. If you call 9:45 sleeping in. I packed up my stuff and had to check out of the hostel. However the guy at reception said I could leave my back pack in the storage unit for the day because my flight was only at 8:30pm so I would have had to carry that bag around Rome all day! Not fun! 

I left on foot again with my map and saw the monument a Vittorio Emanuele (ya what a mouth full) not exactly sure what they do there but the building outside is beautiful! A bit more modern building compared to the rest I have seen here in Rome. 

I did a lot of walking today and saw lots of different old buildings and streets in Rome. A very good way to see the city I think, just having a map, walking around and seeing different things. 

I made my way to the Vatican (where the pope lives) good views outside of the building. I decided not to go in because it was extremely expensive and it didn't interest me that much so I decided to save the money and spend it on something more that I would enjoy. 

I caught a city bus going back to the hostel because I had been out for hours just walking in the sun. I sat in the common room for a little while just relaxing and then I walked to the train station where I then caught a shuttle bus going to the airport. 

Not sure what happened but almost every single flight between 3pm- 9pm is delayed for a little so the airport was absolutely packed! People everywhere! First time I have ever had a flight delayed, at the moment it says it's only delayed an hour but some people have been here for 6 hours and they were once told it would only be an hour so we'll see about that!
