Day 2: Rome

After a sleepless night worrying if we would be homeless some pilgrims contacted their local member who sorted the accommodation and now rest their weary bones at the Centre Hotel.

All pilgrims gathered during the afternoon to share adventures and stories which led to an elaborate dinner in an exclusive Italian restaurant. During dinner the infamous and mysterious, 'pilgrimage mascot' was created. All will be revealed to the faithful blog followers throughout the pilgrimage. A sneak glimpse will be embedded throughout the daily photos on this blog.

Highlights for pilgrims today:
* Climbing the 'Sacred Stairs' on bended knees - feeling the pain on each step;
* Visiting major Basilicas;
* Shopping in liturgical K-Mart Fr Paul bought the most wonderful umbrella only fitting for the most high which could also be used for playground duty - What do you think Pete?

Ciao until tomorrow
