Rome Day 3



We only had a couple of hours to see the Vatican, so we decided to see St. Peter’s. We had planned on taking a tour with the same tour company we used before, but we arrived late (because the buses are not on a schedule) and had to make a go of it on our own. We walked to the top of the cupola to see the magnificent views of the city and also the fantastic mosaics up close (you can’t even see them from the ground). Michelangelo’s Pieta was definitely the hi-light of the Vatican trip. See can see our pictures of Rome here.
