The Vatican

Due to my early night I was able to get up and going early doors this morning.

I headed down to St. Peter's square. There are so many tour guides down there trying to sell you tours  and tickets I was getting sick of it. 

So

I thought 'hey, I'll just pretend to be German and they will leave me alone.'

This did not work...

No sooner had the work nine left my lips (incidentally this is the only German word I know). I was set upon by several German speaking tour guides, who were even pushier than the English! The shit thing was that now I was trapped. I couldn't start speaking English as I would be the biggest tool in the world. But also the only German word I know is nine! 

So I ran away.

St. Peter's church was awesome. It is huge but the whole church was built as an optical illusion to make it look smaller that it actually is.

While I was in there a crowed had formed around the side of the room, I must have asked about 6 or 7 people what was going on but no one had a clue. So like a true Brit I joined the que!

After 45 minuets about 10 pope like people walked past. I think the may be cardinals but I really don't have a scooby. And then the crowd dissipated. What a waste of time.

After St. Peter's I went through the Vatican museum and into the Sistine Chappell. It was pretty cool but different to what I was expecting. It was very busy and my word does it give you a crick in the neck! It's supposed to be strictly no photos. This is why my sneaky one features my forehead.
