What can one say? Any trip to Rome must include a trip to the Vatican! We scheduled a “Skip the Line” Small Group Tour thru Viator.com that was totally worth it. Unfortunately, since Pope Francis passed away while we were en route across the Atlantic, we were unable to see the Sistine Chapel, but we were able to tour the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, which was amazing!

VATICAN MUSEUMS

SAINT PETER’S BASILICA

SAINT PETER’S SQUARE

Afterwards we got our second pizza in Italy at Universal Bar, a cafe near St. Peter’s Square … gotta say, still not impressed … but at least better than the first one. We took in some more sights as we walked back to our hotel.
