We started the day early, woke up at 545am just to Q-up for visiting Vatican. Well we were indeed the first group of people arrived, and the first group to get in at around 730am. We first visited the Vatican Musuem for some of its collection, but our main focus is the gallery and the painting inside the building. We did managed to visit the Sistine Chapel when it’s not very crowded, their artwork is amazing, it’s hard to imagine how Michaelangelo finished this masterpiece, it’s really impressive… too bad no photos allowed.
I forgot what this is, what looked weird..

One of the hallway in the musuem I think..

Here lies John Paul II..

We visited St Peter Basilica, one of the world largest and most beautiful cathedral.


St Peter is really gigantic, the words we saw with the photo is actually the equal the height of a man..

One of the many amazing statue..

Outside the Basilica we saw thousands of chairs arranged, apparently the Pope is to be having a mass the other day after our visit. The tour to Vatican will not be completed without the photo of their famous Swiss Guards.

We headed of Venezia in the afternoon.
