    Day 7 Roma
    Last day in Rome today was started with the one and only Vatican.
    Basically you see 3 mueseums, the church, the square and obviously the sistine chapel.

    The sistine chapel was smaller then i expected but was still beautiful. As its technically a church you arent allowed to speak inside or take pictures. They have about 20 guards inside watching you. It was different to what i imagined, Michaelangelo painted the ceiling and 1 wall. But other painters painted the other sections so it's basically paintings from floor to ceiling, of people mainly.

    St. Peters bascilica was really something. On another level from every church id seen so far.

    The pope does mass from outside in the square on Wednesday monrings, which can fit 150,000 people. He also does a blessing from his room that overlooks the square on sundays.

    After that we drove to Florence and had a special Tuscan dinner in the hill side.
