So Rachael meet us at our hostel and we were off on our tour, there were 9 of us, the five Canadians and 4 Americans (Anna, Britney, Peter and Zach), and we left for the Vatican. The day started off with what some people might call the best part, Saint Peter's Square, which is really an ellipse. Since it was Wednesday, the Pope was giving mass!! We got to see the Pope!! (from a distance anyway), after mass we headed over to the Vatican Museumm where Rachael gave us an very good tour of the different rooms, it was an awesome sight, the paintings and the sculptures had awesome details. We finished off the tour in the Sistine Chapel and WOW was it amazing, the whole room was covered in paintings.
After that we went to Saint Peter's Basilica, and once again it was an awesome sight, and sorts of great paints and sculptures. Heard lots of cool stories about Popes and people of the Vatican.
The tour ended at St Angelo's Castle and the bridge.
We walked around this area and went to the nearest metro stop and made our way back to the hostel. When we got back to the hostel and we ended up just hanging out at the hostel with poeple from all over, USA, Canada, Australia, and England, after we went to a small piazza (square) there were lots of people just relaxing there.
I was pretty tried after that day full of sight seeing so I went to bed.
