Vatican City 😇

Day 48

Today we went into the Vatican City. We saw a really big church named St Peters.  We first climbed a massive dome that was 551(five hundred and fifty one) steps tall. There was a very good view from it.

After leaving the dome of St Peters we walked around the walls of the city to get to the Sistine Chapel. The painting was great but the heat and crowds were annoying.

Once we had finished we went to a cafe. Mum and dad had coffee while we had pastries. Emma had a honey filled croissant and me and Holly had a apple and raisin pastry with sugar.

Last of all we went inside St Peters Basilica. It was big and we saw a man in a wheelchair. He got special pass because of the crowds. A priest saw him and let him in to the main alter area.  Then we left and came home for lunch.

Rome is like liveing in an oven.  Also we have now been in the 2 smallest countrys in theWORLD!!!!!!!  Here is a picture of us with the Vatican guards - the Swiss Guard.
