Last day in Rome.
Visited the Vatican museum and the Sistine chapel. Maybe because of all the museums we have visited in the last two days ( they start to merge) the museum in it self ( except the Faberge eggs ) did not thrill me nor was the audio guide captivating.
The Sistine Chapel did all that, finally the audio guide was useful , the paintings were enthralling. After having read so many novels containing stories of Michaelangelo painting the ceilings it was so exciting to see them. The ceilings and walls are filled with stories. I am so glad we could see them, they had been closed on the previous day.
Tried our luck at the line for St Peter's Basilica but as a guard very knowledgeably told us that it would be impossible to get in today, we left.
Initially was disappointed about not getting in then I started writing my blog for the last three days ( sitting on the train to Florence) to realize that we had done and seen so much. We have been lucky, touchwood.
