After a lovely breakfast, it was on the bus to the Vatican. The whole complex was very exquisite including so many beautiful murals, paintings and sculptures. Words cannot describe the experience nor do photos reflect the beauty. We went through screening and as VIP people we went straight through to the inner courtyard. Here we learnt about the Vatican itself. We went through a long corridor filled with paintings, mosaics and fresco ceilings. Wow!!!! Downstairs to the Sistene Chapel to see the works of Michelangelo. How amazing. We then went around to St Peters Square and the Biscillia. The church was magnificent. We have never seen any thing like this before. Could have stayed all day just looking. We then drove past the monument to the first king of Italy then off to the Coliseum. This was certainly amazing. Back through the city then back to the hotel for a short siesta before going out for a lighthearted evening in Rome with a typical Italian meal, live musicians and back through the city along the Via Veneto. Wow; what a fabulous day.
