However, we didn't get there until just after 9 but luckily a man asked if we wanted to join a group tour. It was supposed to be just leaving but didn't till another hour or so and the group ended up being about 45 people. It was good though.
We had an Italian guide who knew some interesting tales and information and the tour took some 2 hours or so. (He's the one with the white beard).
Just before the Sistine Chapel the tour finished and we made our own way throughout Raphael's rooms and the modern collection.
Some 100 or so photos later we made it to the glorious chapel.
It was packed. Everyone looking up to the ceiling
and admiring Michelangelo's frescos of the creation.
And more...
After the Sistine Chapel we saw more religious art.....
This is the remains of a preparatory sculpture by Bernini. You can see how it has been built up over wire, twigs and straw.
Me posting two of the four postcards we ever sent on our trip, at Vatican City Post Office.
Can you spot me and dad?
When we got back home, from some grocery shopping mum and dad started packing all our stuff and shopping into our suitcases. They were very heavy!
