EUROPE 2005

We spent today in the Vatican City. We waited in a very long queue for the Vatican museum but met some nice germans in front of us in the line. When we went inside we walked through room after room of many beautiful and extravagant rooms and eventually finished up in the Sistine chapel which was awe inspiring. We then wandered over to the Basilica St Pietro, queued for a long time again (in the rain this time) for the dome. We climbed up lots of steps (300+) but we were rewarded by the amazing view inside the Basilica and outside of the city of Rome. When we were back on ground level we had a quick look around the Basilica as well. Had our tea at a cosy Italian restaurant Piccolo Buco and had pizza and gelato. We then saw the Trevi fountain at night.
