Rome Trip

We went for a 3 day trip to Rome and it was fun =) The Vatican museum was really a sight to see and the Sistine chapel inside. Many of the paintings inside the sistine chapel were painted by Michaelangelo himself and the ceilings were covered with intricate, colourful paintings. We had to line up for like 2 hours i think to get in and it was freezing outside. The queue was snaking around the walls, was really long but luckily it moved quite quickly haha..
