The Colosseum and Vatican City!





14 - 15 June 2011
Location : The Colosseum and Vatican City, Rome, Italy




I was very excited to visit the Vatican City! The Holy City!


Stopped at the metro train stop : St Pietro - Musei Cipro (the nearest to Vatican City) but still needed to walk quite far haha


The view of Vatican City from afar!


Still walking lol


Entering the Vatican City!


St Peter's square! Omg I still couldn't believe that I was here. Just look at the longgg queue


Vatican City is very small actually, 2 - 3 hours here should be sufficient. And 1 hour is for queuing up only LOL


Beautiful city!




St Peter's square's view from St Peter's Basilica


St Peter's Basilica! Can cry each time looking at the beauty of each detail of the Cathedral


The ceiling :)









Done my prayers here hence wrapping up my mission to pray in 4 main Cathedrals in 4 Italian cities :)




One of the windows is where the Pope's room is. I think


Swiss guards woots



Taking pic with the Pope lol


Magnificient


The Vatican Museum.


After Vatican City, I decided to walk to the other nearest metro station - Ottaviano (To go to the Colosseum next). But shit, it was even further away from Cipro's station!


Nevertheless, after much walking at the Vatican City lol, I arrived at the Colosseum by stopping at the Colosseo metro station. Luckily managed to reach there before the Colosseum closes.



Harro Colosseum!


Paid 12 Euros for the entry i think, couldnt really remember the exact price though.



Quite amazed at how they built this actually





Outside of the Colosseum





Some kind British girl helped me to take this pic, cos I helped them to take their pic LOL
