Rome Part 2

Rome is an amazing place, its one of those places that you just cant help but be excited about being there. It has so much history and ancient tradition. When you walk the streets past the remains of the roman empire you really can picture yourself the with Julius Ceaser and almost see just what it would have been like.

Seeing the history here has just blown me away, the stories that go behind so many of the buildings are incredible.

I went to the Vatican City early this morning for a 3 hour walking tour of the Vatican, St Peters Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. The one thing that stood out was the the Pope has way to much money!!

The Vatican is dripping with Gold and ancient paintings and Tapestries. Here are some Pics of within the Vatican.

The Sistine Chapel was also amazing, it was incredible to think that I was standing under Paintings that had been done by Michelangelo. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take photographs of them, so I cannot show you what it was like.

St Michaels Basilica was also pretty amazing.. Huge actually, Pics below

I was meant to meet up with Davina and Carl in the afternoon, but I am still not well and I think the 3 hour walking tour took all the energy I had! I ended up heading back to camp and resting for the Afternoon.
