Arividerci, finally Rome again for the first time Im stopping here and getting he chance to stroll around the streets and visit a place I have always wanted to go...The Holy City - The Vatican. This was a tiring trip but a trip that gave me insight on a lot of things. My aim has always been to see the 7 wonders of the world... And here lies the mighty Colloseum.
Always looks small in teh pictures but magnificently huge in reality. Visitors are not really allowed to go in, but hey I touched the walls and left my fingermark on it...That counts right?
The moment of truth the foyer of the Vatican City, where the Pope really is. Took 3 hours just to queue at the main entrance, but that was not it. The next queue to get inside the Vatican, (the building shown above and to the Church is another 2 hours. It was pouring mad that day, and the temperature was well below zero. But there was no I would turn back after coming this far. Vatican was a heart warming experience.
Before queing up, I managed to get this Indian couple to help me snap this picture. The Holy Gates of the Vatican Church.
Pisa, at the entrance of the leaning tower of Pisa are the 4 main gates leading to the main building. It was a long walk but worth every while of it. 2 Great Wonders in one country...
The Entrance to the Main Cathedral in Rome. That is a fountain which they use to baptise newly born babies, where the source is believed to originate from Jerusalam.
Before the day ends, still had time to shop...Hey its weird as the shopping hours ar split into 2 session 9am to 2pm, everythign closes between 2pm and 6pm then everything resumes from 6pm to 1030pm... Even Banks!!!!!!
In a friends house where I managed to stay for a few days in Milan.
Finally its was time to go back, with very little souvenirs and a handful of memories and new friends I leave my mark once again in Italy. With a solemn prayer a uttered at the Vatican. I leave with fond memories.
