St Peters Basilica Sunset
The Vatican
On our 2nd day in Rome, we spent the morning at The Vatican. I was able to book an early morning breakfast tour and it was well worth it! We had early access into the Vatican Museum with a buffet breakfast in the garden.
Out tour guide through the museum was phenomenal, she definitely knew her history! I apologize to my parents for all the times I complained about going through museums as a kid....yes....I now appreciate them.
They don't allow photography in the Sistine Chapel, but rest assured, it was amazing. They do allow plenty of pictures in St Peters Basilica.
We decided to go ahead and climb to the top of St Peters Basilica, and unfortunately it started raining and lightening so we didn't stay too long.
Unfortunately when it was time to leave the Vatican, the storm set in, and it was WET! We stopped off in the Vatican Post Office to wait it out a bit. And of course the girls decided to go ahead and mail a postcard home to themselves. I believe it took about 3 weeks to arrive.
