Warm weather, amazing gelato, great cappuccino, thousands of tourists, rip off merchants and mad drivers characterised our day.

Today we split up, Greg and Ben toured the Vatican city, whilst mum and the 3 boys visited cafes, shops and fleeting visits of tourist sights.

The Vatican city is the smallest country in the world, but it has the biggest church in the world. We booked a tour for the museum and the sistine chapel. The pope's collection of statues is amazing. Michaelangeo's artworks were incredible but the crowds were enormous. Awesome day!!!
