Dear family and friends
Our second day in Rome was filled with delight, reflection and amazement at the Vatican City. We were greeted by our tour guide Paulo who took us through the Vatican Museums, colmunating with a visit to the spectacular Sistine Chappel. The Sistine Chappel attracts lots of people, so the whisper tour with Paulo came in handy. He gave us a look into the detailed and entangled history behind the paintings and statues that lined the walls. As well as visiting the Sistine chappel, we had the great privilage of meeting the embassador of Australia for the Vatican, Mr Tim Fischer. His tour of the museum to the side of St. Peter's Square proved to be both informing and extremely interesting. We also gained knowledge of the past popes and their political influences.
