Vatican part 1

We nearly did not do the Vatican guided tour but so glad we did. Paulina was our guide for a group of 8. She was fab and had so much to say. The museums, of which there are many, include hundreds of sculptures and paintings. They have 30,000 people a day through here, just think of the cash the pope is raking in!! There were no photos allowed in the Sistine Chapel, but it was such a massive build up that by the time we finally arrived there, it was slightly disappointing. Don’t get me wrong, it was amazing and it took MA four years to complete, a stunning achievement. We loved the little gems we were told about people added to paintings etc. All told, a fabulous morning.Read more
