Dispatch From London # 11

Day two of voyage would consist of visiting Vatican City, some shopping districts and other landmarks we were unable to get to on the previous day. We probably walked about ten miles, all the while snapping photos.

Vatican City was very interesting. You can not escape the historic feel when you enter some of these places, knowing that a many people have walked the same grounds that you too are. The Basilica is where most of the past Pope's have been laid to rest. Pope John Paul II was recently laid to rest inside the building as well.

Pope John Paul's burial site.

Vatican Security, they must be skilled in martial arts or something....

After leaving the Vatican, we check out some other sites and battled African street vendors, those cats be hustling fa sho...

This structure, now a museum was massive.

We had to head for the airport to fly out by six, so we made moves back to the Hostel and then the airport.

Overall, I enjoyed the sights in Rome, it was history brought to life for me. What will I take most with me though, is the memory of the best ice cream abrotha has ever had!!! To heck with Baskin Robbins...
