Italy (Rome)

Today, we were to wake up extra eraly to go to the Vatican Museum. The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel cost 53 USD/Per extra cos its an extra excursion. If we go ourself it cost £12 which is very much cheaper. However, we will have to que for around an hour to get in. When going with tour is much more faster and there are full explantion of the whole tour. Inside was mostly paintings, sculpture and artifact. Took many photos and most of all is the famous painting by Michelangelo; The judgement in the Sisten Chapel. After that, we went to St Mark's square and what we saw was a sea of people so we were unable to enter the square. Therefore we just walk around the walls and the side of the square. St Marks square is a place where they choose the pope and just next to the square is where the pope live. We were lucky that we were able to see an event when people came to visit the pope. However, due to the time constrain, we were unable to wait for the pope to come out. Next stop is The Colosseum. St Marks square had another name called Basilica S. Pietro. I dident know why this name will appear in Rome but it meant something to me. something very important... Anyway, in the colosseum, its nothing much but lots of stones. The view is very magnificent with great work and large column. It is one of the best work in Italty. After the colosseum, we are to choose either to go back to the hotel or to have free time and to work around by ourself. Yestaday we wanted to go some place and were unbale to, so today we plan to go there, but before that, we went to a place where church was underground. That place remines me of Diablo where hell is at the bottom. Everything underground was creepy, if there were no electrical light but candles, it may be even worse. It has three floors underground and it can go deeper which is undiscovered and so unsutale to go and deeper. After that, we took the metro to Barberini and start from Fontana del Tritone, then to San Cario Quattru Fontane (seems like the governement centre and with long que of ppl trying to gt in) and lastly, Fontona di Trevi (Very nice fountain filled with many people) We then walk back to the metro and to Ottaviano San Pietro station and take bus 32 and back to the hotel. Today was a very tiring day cos whole day was walk and little resting. Hehe~ Anyway, i brought my ghost and gougou with me to keep me accompany. I missed all my stuffies. ^_^
