We had decided to head to the Vatican today and then come home early to chill before heading out for a nice meal.
The day did not start well when we rushed to get up shower and get the shuttle bus only to be turned away as the 10am bus was full so we returned to our site to kill time till the 11am shuttle.
We returned at 10:35am to get the 11am shuttle to find this one too was already full as a group of 10 people had booked tickets so we ended up having to get the public bus and hope it dropped us somewhere near the Vatican.
The bus ride was not to bad to be honest and only cost a euro.
At the Vatican there was a pretty big queue but it did not take long to get in. I was really excited to be in the Vatican but to be honest it was a bit of a let down due to the amount of people who were there. It was fucking rammed with people. You could hardly move. We saw a few things but after about an hour an a half I was ready to kill someone so we decided to just head to the Sistine Chapel which was very nice but again ruined by the hundreds if people chatting and generally making a noise. Despite this is was worth the trip just to say I had been.
Once we had seen the Chapel we got a quick bite to eat which was pizza. The one I had was a bit wierd as there was no tomato sauce on it which was strange.
Both Rachel and myself did not realise that we when had to leave the Vatican to see St Peters square, if we had we probably would have gone somewhere a bit cheaper for lunch as it was almost 15 euro's for two pieces of Pizza and 2 drinks.
We left the Vatican both a bit disappointing with the crowds and not being able to take out time to view everything. If you plan to visit Rome I would suggest going in the winter for sure.
We briefly walked round to St Peter's Square to get a few photo's before heading back to the campsite to chill before heading out for dinner.
