On to Rome




Category: My latest Europe trip | Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2005 10:56 pm

From Venice we travelled on to Rome. Rome is a beautiful place with much history. We needed to have an early night because, in the morning (very early), we were going to the Vatican.

So, around 6.30am we boarded the bus for the Vatican. Some would say "Why so early?" Well, if you are not there by 7am the line to get in is HUGE!

Here is a pic of the line at 7am when we arrived. The entrance door is that little black square way up the front.


The Vatican has an average of 17,000 visitors per day.
So, as you can imagine, there are people everywhere.

Here is a pic of the sign over the original entrance, which became unsafe through the constant traffic of people over the years.

We were waiting in line for around an hour (which is good for the Vatican!) and all the while there were street sellers & peddlers. Selling anything from umbrellas, to Vatican postards, to accomodation, to cars!

Man I hate queues. I hope it was worth it Craig. I guess we will find out in a future blog entry ;)

Yes, it was sooooo worth it. We were only there for 1/2 a day, but could have spent a week there! There was so much to see!
Also, there was a reverence, even with all those people, in the air.
