Roma-Day 2-Vatican & Sant'Angelo Bridge

Our tour of the vatican was wonderfully descriptive, the male tour guide was a mind of information and very interesting (he also had an Italian accent which I was thrilled about) We did the Raphael Rooms and Modern Galleries is this tour, something that was not included in last years tour which made it seem a lot longer, which I guess it was in reality. The Raphael rooms were well worth the aching back and feet but I was not impressed with the modern section, it's just not my thing, so the last part of the tour was spent wishing for a chair! Sant'Angelo castle and bridge were awesome, so glad I managed to walk upon the bridge this time around.

Vatican
Ooooooooh! I can't begin to tell you how excited I was sitting sketching this very special doorway. I pre-booked a guided tour through Viator online before I left England which isn't usually my style but I think part of me just wanted to KNOW it would happen and that I wouldn't miss anything once inside.
Apparently, the doorway, which was once the entrance, is now the exit. The new entrance is some modern contraption that didn't appeal to me at all.
Sun is shining brightly!
