RE: We Climbed to the Top of St. Peters Basilica and It Was Not Easy!
Love Rome! We went up the St, Peters as well last year, but did the stairs the whole way, it was really quite tiring but more than anything I got a bit dizzy from spiralling up. But that view is worth it, isn't it?
By the way, if you'll be staying in Rome for a bit, I would definitely recommended Rick Steves' Italy Audio Tours. You can get the app or just download the files on your phone: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/audio/audio-tours/italy
We did quite a few of them and they were really interesting, for example the ones for the Colosseum and the Roman Forum really added to the experience, as you are basically being guided around and learning interesting facts you otherwise wouldn't know unless you maybe book an actual tour. I also really loved the Trastevere walk: http://podcasts.ricksteves.com/walkingtours/Trastevere.mp3
Yes it was and congrats on taking on the steps from the bottom!
