Rome, Day 6 (4 Sept)

Up early, got a lift to the Vatican with Delina's driver. The square was packed! We only figured out a bit later that it was a Wednesday morning, and the Pope was due to speak. This was great because it meant that while we were moving towards the Vatican museum, most tourists were moving in the other direction! Got in nice and smoothly.





James and I quite liked this bath tub!




One of the areas we enjoyed most was the cartographic hall.



Stopped for refreshments at one of the Vatican coffee bars.








Was lucky enough to watch this restorer at work in the vehicle exhibition, or the Pope's garage as we called it.







Exited after 4 hours, ravenous for lunch. After lunch, over to Castle St. Angelo.



Very interesting, beautiful frescos, and incredible view of Rome from the top!

On our walk home, spotted this gelato shop which boasts 150 different flavours!
