Europe | Rome | Vatican Museum
My husband and I spent a very busy day in Rome. We had arrived by train from Florence the evening before and saw most of Rome in one day. It was a slightly warmer than the other cities we had visited which was very much welcome!
The Vatican Museum was fascinating with so much to see! One thing that surprised me though, was the size of the Sistine Chapel. It was a lot smaller than I had imagined, but spectacular!
I think my husband may have taken most of these photos :)
