I got there at 9:40. 20 minutes before it even opened and I still stood in line for three HOURS. Longest line I've ever been in. Luckily, I stood in line with a girl who is from Maryland who currently lives in New York. We talked about our travels and our lives. It was fun! Halfway through the line we started talking to a couple who was behind us. The girl is from Brazil, the guy is Swedish, and they met in California. So there ya go. They were a lot of fun to talk to. We took turns leaving the line for the bathroom or food, the others saving our spots. Finally it was our turn. 1:00. I got a discount for being an age between 18-26 so I had money to spare for the audiotour. The group I was in line with became my catacombs buddies and we journeyed down together. It was freezing down there! That's what happens when you're that far underground.
But seriously, that three hour line was totally worth it. The archaeologist in me was amazed and awed and totally feeling out. I taught my group about many aspects of bones which they were all really amazed to learn. They'd call me over to ask a question. We got out and I had to book it to get to my flight.
Best last day.
