...For reasons unknown to the author of this blog as well, descriptions of places are unavailable for the time being. This post shall be concise without being too slipshod. Arrived in Rome. Went Macdonald's for dinner. First Mac meal since coming Denmark. Unfortunate to share room with a Milan dude who scolded us for being too noisy. Not very happy, quite bad start to Rome.
Forget about him. Next morning, woke up very early. Want to avoid long queue to Vatican Museum. Reached at 750am. Luckily only 50min queue. Museum very nice, but we don't know what's what inside, so pretended to be interested. Saw many Popes' stuff and paintings, rooms drawn or designed by this Raphael guy. Think he built many many buildings in the premises of Vatican, including the interiors.
Went to Basilica Di San Pietro thereafter. Again, paid money to climb up the Duomo. Was worth it as usual, nice view from top. Took many many beautiful pictures. Come down, went to see Popes' graves in this special building. Cannot snap snap inside so no proof. "Delighted" to finally see Pope John Paul II's grave. A few people praying in front of his grave. He was like a grandfather to the world.
Took some pictures outside at the square of Saint Peter's Basilica again. Saw Swiss Guards, uniform quite comical so gossiped abit about them and make small jokes. Impolite but we don't mean it. Left a satisfied tourist. Tired and apprehensive coz go back must face the Milan dude again...
