Roma part 2
Wednesday we went to the Vatican City. We started at the Vatican Museums and made our way to St. Peter's Basilica.
In the Vatican Museums we took the short route and made our way to the Sistine Chapel. While standing in the middle we used our travel guide to decipher what exactly we were looking at, unfortunately there were some errors in our book. Some of the pictures were on the opposite side of the actually painting, but for a general overview it was so helpful!We had a quick lunch at THE WORST restuarant I've ever been to in my life, then made our way to St. Peter's.
The Basilica is absolutely amazing. I can't even describe it, but it was breathtaking. Parts were a little overwhelming for me, with the gold and such but I cannont imagine going to Rome and not seeing the Basilica.
We made or way back across the Tiber and to a Leonardo da Vinci Museum. It was an interactive museum of his inventions, I do have to say, that man was absolutely amazing. There were about 2 or 3 school groups there so the exhibit was loud and crowded but we still got to play a little bit and enjoy.
We stopped at a bakery and picked up some cannoli's which we ate while watching the wild cats of rome stalk the pigeons.
Abour our hotel, we stayed in a cute little place in the Termini district. There were only a couple rooms but they were cute and clean. The staff was extremely friendly, all with very good english adn we had breakfast every morning. It was a little different than the German breakfast we were used to but it did the trick.
