Day 69 - You know, just hanging out at the Sistine chapel

So today I got up pretty early because I had to change my room in the hostel. (Which weirdly enough is a women's only hostel because it's half of a convent? Lol)

I had booked a Vatican tour, and I'm staying about a 10 minute walk from the Vatican, but the tour starts literally on the other city? AND there was a transport strike today, so no buses or metro for most of the busy part of the day. So I had organised with the guide the night before to meet the OTHER guide closer to where I'm staying. I walked over there, and waited for AGES for the tour to show up, and when the girls from the day before messaged me saying they were there (two girls I met on the day before) they weren't where I was?! So bit of a panick, but I did find them and join the tour.

It ended up being a really good day, the tour was cool, but to be honest, I think it was something I could have walked around and seen without the history side of it. but the guide was good, so never mind.

Bascailly we learnt a lot about St. Peters Cathedral, the Vatican and the Sistine chapel, then we walked through the Sistine chapel.

Wow. It was actually quite breath taking. As most of you know I'm not much of an art person,. but this is actually really quite stunning, and knowing the work and dedication behind it, its even more impressive.



After this I went with the two girls to dinner, (Once again had gnocchi LOL) And chilled, then came back to the hostel and now I'm chilling out writing blogs.

OH! Also on the way back to the hostel, I found FRESH MILK! Yes, normal fresh milk, that I can drink right out of the bottle. I enjoyed a nice glass, then I good glass of Milo. Mmmmm delicious!

Things that made me happy today; Fresh milk and Milo. OH And the Sistine chapel LOL

Things that made me sad today; Same as yesterday, the incredible heat I had to wander around in today :(
