The catacombs were where the early Christians buried their dead (escape
persecution etc)
It lies outside the city itself, along the Appian way, so we bravely
navigated Roman public transportation and found that the catacombs and
tour were well worth the trip.
Poor Tabitha - she was feeling really sick that day, but she persevered
and went sightseeing with us the whole day...
One of those tourists who found the tour SOOOO exciting that the just
had to rest afterwards...
