It's Italy, not Shitaly! Part Two: Roma!

8. Roma: What a beautiful city. It's really one of the best in the world and has so much culture and history to offer. And the tourists to match. But it's a testament to the city that on 34-38 degree days we were still eager to trek through winding streets past sweaty tourists, pick-pockets and street beggars.

Anyhow, the hits:
St. Peters at night. We will eventually photoshop those chaps out of the picture.


Inside St. Peters. You can actually feel the big guy peeking inside.The Fountain de Trivoli. We're happy we managed one photo without tourists in it, even at 11pm. Damn tourists.

Inside the Vatician Museum in the hall that leads to the Sistine Chapel .
The confusing layout of the museum, complete with very poor signage and NO maps (which was enough to make Sarah go crazy) leads you to the chapel as it's climactic ending, but by the time you get there after fighting with every other joe tourist it's hard to really appreciate the chapel. Due to the shear number of tourists they really cram them in there and then wonder why they can't get complete silence in the room. So you hear the minders and security guards constantly loudly whispering, "Shhhhhhhh, silence!" and "No photos!". No one listens. In this same hall we heard a guy telling what we could only assume were his parents that you can't take photos in the Sistine Chapel because a Japanese television company owns the rights to it.

Not our photo of the Chapel. A pic form the net so you can visualise the room.The Colosseum on the outside starring Sarah.

Z.Z. Top have become ministers. I knew it!

Scenic.
Rome's Pantheon.
Believe me there are many more photos. Maybe some other time! Next week Sarah will take you to a country different in nearly every way, shape and form to Italy: Sweden!
